SALTR – a useful memonic to help remember the five types of growth plate fracture (Salter-Harris classification). Fortunately the order also directly relates to prognosis from best to worse.
- S - slipped = type I
- A - above = type II
- L - lower = type III
- T - through or transverse or together = type IV
- R - ruined or rammed = type V
