Myna, You're not the only adult that fractured near the growth plate .. LOLOL. About 18 months ago, I fell and of course extended my wrist to break my fall. I ended up breaking the wrist, and wound up with a "T" plate and 10 screws in the wrist. This is the one and only time in my 60 years that I EVER broke a bone .... and I did a real good job. The best part of that experience was the paraffin dip and heat wraps that were part of the physical therapy. :-)
Hope you heal well and quickly. Hang in there ... you'll be back to quilting in no time.
