| Type | Frequency | Description | Mnemonic |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | 6%–8% | Slip along the axis of the growth plate | Slip |
| II | 75% | Fracture line extends proximally into the metaphysis from the physis | Above growth plate |
| III | 6%–8% | Fracture line extends distally into the epiphysis from the physis (involves articular surface) | Lower than growth plate |
| IV | 10%–12% | Fracture line extends from the metaphysis, across the physis and epiphysis | Through growth plate |
| V | 1% | Crush injury | Rammed |
Note: Types I and II usually heal without limitation of function; Types III and IV involve the articular surface and so may cause a
joint deformity; Type V injuries are likely to affect function of the joint adversely
