Short summary
Our results indicate that certain parameters such as diabetes, low albumin levels, and prolonged duration of surgery are associated with a higher risk of infection in patients undergoing musculoskeletal tumor resection and megaprosthetic reconstruction. Strategies targeted towards glycemic control and nutritional status optimization are of great significance, while parameters that can affect the operating time can also have a positive impact on periprosthetic joint infection prevention.
