Fracture through the physis of the fifth distal phalanx with mild dorsal displacement and palmar angulation. No obvious fracture involvement of the metaphysis or epiphysis. Appearance is consistent with a Salter-Harris type 1 fracture.
Case Discussion
Salter-Harris type 1 fracture of the fifth distal phalanx of the hand. This case is relatively rare as the majority of physeal finger fractures are of the Salter-Harris type 2 category with extension into the metaphysis.
