Abstract
Salter-Harris Type V epiphyseal injury is relatively uncommon. The authors present a case involving the proximal tibia diagnosed both by radiologic and histologic findings. The findings suggest that Salter-Harris Type V injury can be a possible outcome when the disappearance of the physeal plate is reported in a patient who has great physical activity in childhood, even if the patient has suffered from no major injury.
