Anteroposterior radiograph showing a Salter-Harris type III fracture of the distal radius
This Salter-Harris III fracture is evident as a vertical line that passes from the physis (growth plate, seen as a lucency between the distal radial metaphysis and epiphysis), through the epiphysis, and into the articulation between the radial epiphysis and the metacarpal bones.
