The present case is a type 2 Salter-Harris fracture as the fracture line passes across the growth plate and through the metaphysis.

Salter-Harris classification is used to describe physeal fractures. The classification can be remembered using the SALTR mnemonic:

• S: slipped (type I)
• A: above or away from joint (type II)
• L: lower (type III)
• T: through or transverse or together (type IV)
• R: ruined or rammed (type V)

In a pediatric elbow radiograph evaluation, it is important to be familiar with the expected ossification centers' appearance by age. They can be remembered using the CRITOE mnemonic:

• C: capitellum
• R: radial head: 
• I: Internal (medial) epicondyle
• T: trochlea
• O: olecranon
• E: external (lateral) epicondyle
