- Peterson classification type VI, which has been reported newly on physeal injury classification, is defined as partial missing of the metaphysis and epiphysis with a portion of the physis. It has not been reported in the Republic of Korea to our knowledge. Because this is an open fracture, immediate surgery is needed in all cases. Angular deformity and leg length discrepancy occurs as a result of the formation of the physeal bar. Additional reconstuctive operation, therefore, should be necessary. We report two cases of Peterson classification type VI, both cases were open fracture at the level of ankle joint owing to pedestrian traffic accident. In our experience, Peterson classification type VI required multiple operations because progression of angular deformity with growth, and must be followed up until maturity.
