• nellans2012 Elderly and paeds increasing
• brogren2007 increasing over time (see also Malmo & Rochester & tsai2011); peak 119/10,000

• meta: 2017-02-26
• variation reported
• nellans2012 quoting brogren2007: men & women 19-49 almost identical incidence rates
  • this is at variance with our own study – so context is important e.g. rural vs urban, industry mix, transportation
• tsai2011: up to mid 40s, men more than women

• meta: 2017-02-27
• [jnl:brogren2007]], nelllans2012: type of fracture/ displacement important for outcome, e.g. ia vs ea
• brogren's study provides a ?change? of displacement
