Metaphyseal Fracture

A metaphyseal fracture is a fracture that occurs in the metaphysis of a long bone, the region located between the epiphysis and the diaphysis. It is common in children and adolescents due to the proximity of the growth plate. In some cases, it may affect normal bone growth and development. Treatment depends on the type and stability of the fracture. Proper management and follow-up are essential to ensure normal bone growth and optimal recovery.
