Prophylactic Antibiotic Regimens in Tumor Surgery (PARITY): A Multi-Center Pilot Study Comparing Alternative Antibiotic Regimens in Patients Undergoing Tumor Resections With Endoprosthetic Replacements


Deep infection following endoprosthetic limb reconstruction for sarcoma of the long bones is
a devastating complication. The most effective antibiotic regimen in preventing
postoperative deep infections remains controversial. Moreover, the current state of practice
varies widely, particularly with respect to duration of antibiotics. Our multicenter pilot
trial will compare the effect of administering 24 hours versus 5 days of prophylactic
antibiotics on the development of deep endoprosthetic infection in patients undergoing bone
tumor surgery.


Inclusion Criteria:



- primary malignant or aggressive benign bone tumors of the lower extremity

- treated by surgical excision and endoprosthetic replacement

Exclusion Criteria:

- current known Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)colonization

- current known Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE)colonization

- documented anaphylaxis or angioedema to penicillin or cefazolin (Ancef)

- prior surgery within the surgical field of the affected limb

- prior local infection within the surgical field of the affected limb

- current known immunologically-deficient disease conditions (not including recent
chemotherapy)

- known renal insufficiency with estimated creatinine clearance (eGRF) of less than 54
mL/min

- reconstruction to include allograft

- enrolled in a competing study
