Article Synopsis
- * Diagnosis is made through medical history, clinical examination, and imaging, with pain and limited mobility as key symptoms; X-rays and CT scans help confirm the diagnosis and classify the type of pseudarthrosis.
- * Surgical treatment is typically needed for symptomatic cases, aiming to restore bone vitality and stability; while it has high healing rates, it also poses a higher risk of infection compared to nonoperative methods.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of assessing preoperative conventional X-ray diagnostics in determining whether a comminuted clavicle fracture is present.
Methods: A total of 326 patients with complete clinical and radiological documentation treated for a central clavicle fracture at the author's department between January 1, 2012, and June 30, 2023, were included. Among these, 73 were female, and 253 were male in a mean age of 37.
Aseptic prosthetic loosening and periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are among the most frequent complications after total knee/hip joint arthroplasty (TJA). Current research efforts focus on understanding the involvement of the immune system in these frequent complications. Different immune cell types have already been implicated in aseptic prosthetic loosening and PJI.

In chronic infections or tumors, lasting antigen-exposure leads to permanent PD-1 expression that can limit immune-mediated clearance of pathogens or degenerated cells. Blocking PD-1 can enhance T cell function; in cancer treatment PD-1 blockade is already used as a successful therapy.
