Abstract

Background: Although up to 25% of proximal humeral fractures are isolated greater tuberosity fractures (IGTFs), comprehensive epidemiological data are lacking.

Objectives: Describe the epidemiology and time trends of IGTF in Malmö, Sweden, 1944-2020.

Methods: We identified IGTF in Malmö residents (≥18 years) by reviewing relevant radiology examinations during 17 sample years from 1944 to 2020. Fractures were classified according to the Mutch classification.

Results: In total, 614 IGTF (60% women) were identified (mean age women 60 (SD 16), men 48 (SD 16)). Among individuals <50 years, the incidence was lower in women than men (9 95% confidence interval (CI) 7-10] vs 15 [95% CI 13-18] per 100,000 persons years) whereas the reverse was found in individuals ≥50 years (36 [95% CI 30-42] vs 19 [16-23]). No statistically significant time trends in the incidence rate were observed from year 1944 to 2020. We identified 45% avulsion-, 44% split- and 11% depression-fractures.

Conclusions: IGTF is more common in men than women in age-group <50 years, while the opposite is found in age-group ≥50 years. No statistically significant time trend was observed in IGTF incidence from 1944 to 2020 in Malmö, Sweden.

1944 - 2020年孤立性大结节骨折的流行病学和时间趋势——瑞典Malmö的一项队列研究。

背景：尽管高达25%的肱骨近端骨折为孤立性大结节骨折（IGTFs），但缺乏全面的流行病学数据。目的：描述1944-2020年瑞典Malmö IGTF的流行病学和时间趋势。方法：通过回顾1944 - 2020年17个样本年的相关放射学检查，我们确定了Malmö居民（≥18岁）的IGTF。按照Mutch分类对裂缝进行分类。结果：共发现614例IGTF（60%为女性）（平均年龄女性60岁（SD 16），男性48岁（SD 16））。结论：IGTF在年龄组中男性比女性更常见
