Abstract
According to Salter’s prognostic classification, epiphyseal detachment fractures that cut the growth plate vertically (types III and IV) very often lead to complications involving epiphyseodesis. The mechanism governing the occurrence of this growth arrest has not yet been clearly defined. One proposed hypothesis for its origin is a disturbance in epiphyseal vascularization.
