PRIMARY DIAGNOSIS:
S89.021A: Salter-Harris type 2 physeal fracture of the right distal tibia.
The Salter-Harris (SH) Classification System is a way to grade fractures that

children are SH type 2. (Levine et al., 2022) When a Pt presents with ankle symptoms
a detailed history and physical examination are crucial. Although a nurse
practitioner may provide initial care and refer to a pediatric orthopedic specialist,
obtaining details about the trauma may help narrow down the differentials and
testing needed. In addition, a basic understanding of the pediatric anatomy can lead
to a better understanding of the mechanism of injury. Bone growth is not complete
for a male until somewhere between the ages of 14 to 17 years old[Show More]
