<unk> s are among the most common of fractures. Proximal fractures make up 5% of all fractures and 25% of<unk> s, middle fractures about 60% of<unk> s (12% of all fractures), and distal fractures the remainder. Among proximal fractures, 80% are one-part, 10% are two-part, and the remaining 10% are three- and four-part. The most common location of proximal fractures is at the surgical neck of the<unk> .
