Article Synopsis
- Customized cutting guides enhance the safety and reliability of pelvic bone tumor resections, with two main designs: heavier block-type and lighter patch-type guides.
- In a study using cadavers, researchers aimed to determine if the lighter patch-type guides provide more accurate resections and better ergonomic usability compared to the block-type guides.
- Results indicated that the patch-type customized cutting guides performed slightly better in terms of resection accuracy and ergonomics during the simulated surgeries.

Although prophylactic antibiotics play an essential role in preventing SSIs, there are presently no recommendations that support their appropriate use. This study aimed to assess the impact of a 24 h prophylactic protocol on the bacterial ecology, the resistance pattern, and the SSI healing rate.
