SALTER HARRIS FRACTURES


・・・

It's time to learn about Salter-Harris Fractures. These are pediatric fractures that involve the epiphyseal growth plate. The mnemonic SALTER can be used to help remember the 5 most common fractures. FYI, this classification system is named after Robert Salter and William Harris who published this classification in 1963.

Type 1 - S: Straight across. fractures occur through the growth plate. These injuries may present with normal radiographs, and the diagnosis is often made clinically when tenderness is palpated over the growth plate.

type II - A: Above. fractures occur through the growth plate and metaphysis. Type II injuries are the most common physeal fractures.

Type III - L : Lower. fractures occur through the growth plate and epiphysis. Type III injuries are intra-articular, and the diagnosis is made radiographically based on the appearance of an epiphyseal fragment not associated with a metaphyseal fracture.

Type IV- T : Through Everything. fractures are also intra-articular and occur through the growth plate, metaphysis and epiphysis.

Type V - R: Rammed. fractures occur when there is a crush injury of the growth plate. The prognosis is poor because growth arrest and partial physeal closure are common.

Twisting an ankle is a painful experience.

You don't have to go through this alone!

If you have pain, swelling, bruising, instability or something doesn't look right, see your Podiatrist. 👣

Race and training nutrition is a contentious issue with so many (widely varying) theories currently out there that it is difficult to sift through it all and find what works for you. We quizzed ASICS FrontRunner and qualified Dietician, Mariella Sawyer on the basics of fuelling for a run. PRE Don’...

*DOES FOREFOOT RUNNING CAUSE PLANTAR FASCIITIS?*

-

A recent article was published (Chen et al. 2019) suggests forefoot running reduces arch height and thus strains the plantar fascia.

👣

However according to DPM, Doug Richie Jr, there are many Methodological errors in this research:

_

1. The arch height was not measured correctly.🤔
In other studies (Kelly, 2014,2016,2012) arch height was measured. They found the height did not change with forefoot strike vs rear foot strike🏃

_

2. The study did not take into account the intrinsic foot muscles.💪
Kelly states that these intrinsic muscles provide arch control.

-

3. The plantar aponeurosis supports the arch height and this was not looked at.🔍

-

To conclude:
More research is needed to assess if strain of the plantar fascia occurs with forefoot running, without using arch height to determine this.

*HEEL PAIN*

Most heel pain is diagnosed as Plantar Fasciitis 👣

-

Plantar Fasciitis is the micro tears in the thick band underneath your foot. 👣
This often causes a stabbing pain. 💥

-

DID YOU KNOW💡
Not all heel pain is Plantar Fasciitis.
There are 46 other causes!

It is important not to self diagnose and to rather see a trained professional to help you with your pain. 💪
