Short summary
We explore optimising antibiotic use to prevent infections in endoprosthetic replacement for bone tumours. We found 26 % of infections were linked to initial surgery, with most due to secondary factors like wound complications. The main bacteria are Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci. Our findings suggest targeting these bacteria with prophylactic antibiotics and applying measures to prevent secondary infections to improve infection control in orthopaedic oncology.
