Salter-Harris classification of epiphysial plate injuries

Sal·ter-Har·ris clas·si·fi·ca·tion of ep·i·phys·i·al plate injuries

(salt'er har'is), the classification of epiphysial plate injuries into five groups (I-V), according to the pattern of damage to epiphysis, physis, and metaphysis; the classification correlates with different prognoses regarding the effects of the injury on subsequent growth and subsequent deformity of the epiphysis.
