The incidence of proximal humerus fracture was 4.1\/100,000 per year. Falling from a standing height was the most common cause of injury (50.5%). Additionally, Neer\u2019s two-part fracture was found to be the most common type (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009132, 69%). Forty-one patients (21.3%) had other associated injuries.

Our results showed a lower incidence of proximal humerus fractures with a predominance of males and younger patients in Qatar\u2019s population compared to females and older patients in the developed countries. Our results may contribute to the development of effective strategies for preventing and treating proximal humerus fractures, and can provide important data for further high-level clinical research.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Level of evidence<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>IV.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00590-023-03539-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]],"date-time":"2023-04-10T16:02:56Z","timestamp":1681142576000},"page":"3119-3124","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Epidemiology of proximal humerus fractures in Qatar"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Osama Z.","family":"Alzobi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Loay A.","family":"Salman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jawad","family":"Derbas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abedallah","family":"Abudalou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashraf T.","family":"Hantouly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ghalib","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,10]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"3539_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"365","DOI":"10.1080\/000164701753542023","volume":"72","author":"CM Court-Brown","year":"2001","unstructured":"Court-Brown CM, Garg A, McQueen MM (2001) The epidemiology of proximal humeral fractures.
