Salter-Harris-II fracture of the distal tibia and fibular shaft fracture in a 12-year-old male (a, b). The patient underwent closed reduction and long-leg casting. Post-reduction radiographs did not allow adequate assessment of the physis (c, d), so a CT scan was performed (e, f). Physeal widening on the sagittal images was measured as 2 mm, and decision was made for conservative treatment. Radiographs at 6 months are not conclusive for continued growth at the physis; however, growth is going to be monitored for 2 years post-injury or until symmetric growth arrest lines are observed (g, h)
