Answer:

when the bone gets fractured at the epiphyseal plates the treatment should be done quickly , but if it is not treated immediately then it will affect the growth which may cause long and short limbs. so, if there is fracture in epiphyseal plates it should be treated very soon.

hope u will understand it.
