Pull off type-Varus stress to extended elbow and supinated forearm Push off type-valgus force by radial head directly to the lateral

condyle

Milch classification Type I Type II; unstable Salter Harris classification Type II vs. Type IV Classification according to displacement

(JAKOB) Non-displaced; less than 2 mm Minimally displaced: 2 ~4 mm Displaced: grater than 4 mm

Milch classification

Classification according to displacement

Stable non-displaced fracture close follow-up (1, 2, 4 weeks) cast (radiographic healing: 6 weeks)
