Introduction Sports-related outcomes and the role of recreational sports activities for shoulder function after intramedullary stabilization (IMS) of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures (DMCFs) in the general population are not well known. In this study, we aimed to determine the sport-related outcomes (return-to-sports [RTS] rate, type of sports, time until RTS, and intensity) and to explore the role of sports after IMS of DMCFs. Materials and Methods This single-center, retrospective, cohort study included patients who underwent IMS of DMCFs between 2009 and 2022 at a Level II trauma center in Germany, experienced no major complications, and had completed at least 1 year of follow-up.

- Multi-drug-resistant organisms (MDRO) necessitate patient isolation to prevent infections, but this approach leads to negative experiences for patients and increased emotional strain on healthcare staff.
- A study with 35 healthcare professionals explored their emotional responses to MDRO, using Paul Ekman's five basic emotions as a framework for analysis.
- Findings indicated that emotions like anger, anxiety, sadness, and disgust were prevalent, revealing various underlying issues, and highlighting a need for addressing the broader emotional and ethical implications of MDRO within healthcare settings.
Introduction: Infection prevention and speaking up on errors are core qualities of health care providers. Heuristic effects (e.g.

Background: The surgical treatment of displaced midshaft clavicular fractures (DMCF) is clinically relevant and a much discussed topic. The axial stability of DMCF after intramedullary nailing (IMN) is still a matter of debate.
Objective: Our objective was to present a modification of IMN of DMCF with S-shaped titanium endomedullary nail (TEN) and determine fracture telescoping from day one after surgery to the time of fracture healing.
Background: Hospital-acquired infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) are a threat to patient safety and hospital economy. Training in hygiene precautions is known to limit MDRO spread and patient morbidity. As infection prevention is a collaborative task, we developed an interprofessional educational intervention, including a reflective unit about MDRO.

Methods: Between 01/2010 and 08/2014 all post-operative infections after stabilization of PFF of 1,089 geriatric patients were recorded retrospectively. All patients pre-operatively received a single dose of 1.
