Ms Vasanthie said she never remember The Salter Harris Classification truly. What she remember is just the picture. And from that she try to describe.
I follow u lah ^^
Basically, The Salter-Harris Classification is classification designed for fractures that involve the growth plate (aka physis). This is where our skeleton grow. Yeah, it grows as we grow ;)
Let learn something about our growing bone. Grow grow GROW!!!
This example is showing the wrist bone (pergelangan tangan) where the physis is commonly injured.
'The growth plate is made up of a special kind of cartilage called (surprise!) growth plate cartilage.'
The epiphysis is the end of the bone, with the cartilage that makes up your joint ("epi" means "upon", so an epiphysis is the part of the bone that is on the physis). The physis is the growth plate, the part of the bone that has the cells that allows the bone to grow longer. The metaphysis is the broad region of bone right next to the physis. The diaphysis is the narrow center part of the bone.
okay, i think that's more than enough. Just remember the pic. ^^ hhi
