Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Implant removal in foot, ankle and lower leg in patients ≥18 years and ≤75 years of all ethnic backgrounds

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Removing and re-implanting material in the same session - Implant removal due to active infection - Implant removal due to a (plate) fistula - Current antibiotic treatment - Allergy to cephalosporines

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome is the incidence of wound infections (within 30 days after implant removal) as defined by the criteria applied by the CDC and diagnosed by the attending physician.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secondary outcomes are health-related quality of life (as measured by the EQ-5D), functional outcome (assessed with the Lower Extremity Functional Scale), patient satisfaction (measured by a ten-point Visual Analog Scale), several treatment and function related items (including amongst others, number of visits to the general practitioner and use of home care organizations) measured at 30 days and 6 months postoperatively, as well as costs (e.g. production losses due to sick leave). In addition, the incidence of micro-bacterial growth in cultures taken peroperatively (evaluation between patients with and without antibiotic prophylaxis) and diversity of micro bacterial growth in postoperative wound infection will be documented.	—
