Basic principles of treatment of distal femoral and proximal tibial gr owth plate injuries are described in relation to the anatomical lesion s using the Salter-Harris classification. Some strategic recommendatio ns are made for complex fractures : the articular surface must first b e reconstructed followed by the metaphysis if possible.
