When a child falls and complains of constant pain that seems different from others pains the child has expressed before, It might be best to have them checked out for a Salter Fracture.
Salter-Harris fractures are fractures through a growth plate and are unique to PEDIATRIC patients. These fractures are categorized according to the involvement of the physis, metaphysis, and epiphysis. The classification of the injuries is important, because it affects patient treatment and provides clues to possible long-term complications.
We offer DIGITAL X-Rays on site.
