The humerus most often fractures in the surgical neck region, which is located just below the head of the humerus. This area is particularly susceptible to fractures due to its anatomical location and the forces typically involved in falls or trauma. Additionally, mid-shaft fractures of the humerus are also common, often resulting from direct blows or torsional forces.
