Why surgical neck of humerus called the surgical neck?

The anatomical neck is the one that looks like the neck from an anatomy point of view-it is between the head (that goes into the shoulder) and the tubercles. The surgical neck is the site where most fractures occur. It comes just after the tubercles. Remember that the humerus is kind of in the shape of a "7" going into the shoulder joint, so the anatomical neck is like if you cut from the top with a knife, and the surgical neck is if you cut from the side.

How do fractures commonly occur?

Most fractures occur from: * Sudden accelleration or decelleration -- car collisions, falls * Torsion -- sharp twists -- side car collisions etc. * Penetration trauma -- bullet wounds * Crushing or compression -- car acciddents, something falling on you * Repetitive Impact (jumping up and down for a few hours on a very hard surface can cause shin splints -- small, linear stress fractures).
