From the case:
Salter-Harris type II
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/69711/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Arrow points to a small triangle of metaphyseal bone which has followed the epiphysis, thus making this a Salter Haris type II fracture.
Case Discussion
Note the small triangle of bone which has fractured off the metaphysis and followed the epiphysis, distinguishing a Salter-Harris type II fracture from type 1 injuries.
