My son has a Salter-Harris V1 fracture involving the growth plate he is 12 does anyone have information?

Question

the fracture is in the ankle as a result of a trampoline accident and we were wondering if anyone has experienced this and what was the outcome.

Answer 1

Type VI is a new addition to the original five main types. This usually occurs in open fractures, burns, infection, etc. The prognosis is also poor like the types IV and V. Chances are he may need later surgery to correct the highly possible growth impairment as well as angulation.
