ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Although biological reconstruction (such as recycled autograft, vascularized autograft, allograft, or bone transport) is possible for bone defects after malignant bone or soft tissue tumor resection, a high incidence of postoperative complications, including infection, poses a problem. The difficulty in accumulating cases has resulted in a lack of reliable etiological information, such as the incidence and risk factors of postoperative infections.METHODS:
We conducted a retrospective study on the nationwide registry data. The primary endpoint was the need for additional surgical intervention for infection control. The overall incidence of postoperative infection and the related risk factors were analyzed.RESULTS:
We included 707 malignant bone and soft tissue tumors with biological reconstruction, including recycled autograft, vascularized autograft, allograft, bone transport, and combinations of these. The incidence of postoperative infection was 10.8%. Patients reconstructed by pedicled autograft showed a higher incidence of infection, while cases involving the combination of recycled and pedicled autograft or allograft showed a lower incidence. Independent risk factors for infection included age over 17, tumor diameter over 10 cm, the tumor located on the trunk or being high grade, reconstruction by pedicled autograft, and delayed wound healing.CONCLUSION:
Infection incidence was comparable to those in previous reports. Several conventional and novel risk factors were extracted by administering nationwide registry data. Data from the nationwide registry was informative for analyzing the incidence of postoperative infection in biological reconstruction with malignant bone and soft tissue tumor resection.
