Abstract
Abstract Introduction: Considering the importance of growth plate fractures in quality of life and the complications caused by it and the lack of information about the prevalence of this type of fracture in the target society, this study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the prevalence of this type of fracture in an Iranian society. Materials & Methods:The information of 41 patients with fracture of growth plate including; age, gender, open and closed fracture, single and multiple fractures, type of fracture, location of fracture and presence of fracture on the right or left side of the limb were extracted from the operating room records, radiographs of the patients and their files. After collecting the data, the data were subjected to statistical analysis. Results & Discussion: 32 boys and 9 girls with an average age of 8.24±2.48. 32 years were included the distal radius fracture was the most common (26 cases) and the medial malleolus and distal metatarsal (1 person) were the least common sites of fracture. Most of the fractures were on the left side (22 people), closed (33 people) and single injury (29 people) and Salter-Harris type 2 physeal fractures were the most common fracture patterns (35 people). Conclusion:the growth plate fracture in children was more common in boys, left side, single fracture, and the majority of those were Salter-Harris type 2 fractures.
