So a physeal fracture of the distal femur would be reported as 821.22 for a closed fracture or 821.32 for an open fracture. It should be noted that these codes are not specific to Salter-Harris fractures. These codes are used for any fracture or separation of the epiphysis in the lower end of the femur. These codes are reported both for adults (who have closed growth plates) and children and adolescents (who have open growth plates) even though the potential for complications, including arrested bone growth, is much greater for children and adolescents.
Physeal fractures, also referred to as growth plate fractures, are fractures that occur in the distal or proximal physis of the long bones, and they are of particular concern when they occur in children and adolescents who have not finished growing. Until full growth is attained, the growth plates are open and filled with cartilaginous tissue.
A typical long bone is composed of the following parts: Diaphysis: The diaphysis also is referred to as the shaft. This is the middle section of the long bone, and it is composed of compact bone tissue. Epiphysis: Each long bone has two epiphyses, one located at the proximal end and one at the distal end.
The epiphyses are composed of spongy bone that contains bone marrow. Physis: The physis also is referred to as the growth plate, epiphyseal plate or epiphyseal cartilage. This is the cartilaginous region between the diaphysis and epiphysis, where bone growth occurs.
Type II: Fracture of the bone through the growth plate and a portion of the diaphysis without a fracture of the epiphysis. Type III: Fracture through the growth plate and epiphysis with a complete break through the epiphysis. Type IV: Fracture through the diaphysis, growth plate and epiphysis.
