Despite a large number of scientific papers in the literature, there is still significant controversy about diagnostics, treatment of the primary tumour, subtypes, and complications. Therefore, consensus on its day-to-day treatment decisions is needed. In January 2024, the Birmingham Orthopaedic Oncology Meeting (BOOM) attempted to gain global consensus from 300 delegates from over 50 countries. The meeting focused on these critical areas and aimed to generate consensus statements based on evidence amalgamation and expert opinion from diverse geographical regions. In parallel, periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in oncological reconstructions poses unique challenges due to factors such as adjuvant treatments, large exposures, and the complexity of surgery. The meeting debated two-stage revisions, antibiotic prophylaxis, managing acute PJI in patients undergoing chemotherapy, and defining the best strategies for wound management and allograft reconstruction. The objectives of the meeting extended beyond resolving immediate controversies. It sought to foster global collaboration among specialists attending the meeting, and to encourage future research projects to address unsolved dilemmas. By highlighting areas of disagreement and promoting collaborative research endeavours, this initiative aims to enhance treatment standards and potentially improve outcomes for patients globally. This paper sets out some of the controversies and questions that were debated in the meeting.Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2024;106-B(5):425–429. 000168091 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.es 000168091 590__ $$a4.6$$b2024 000168091 591__ $$aSURGERY$$b18 / 314 = 0.057$$c2024$$dQ1$$eT1 000168091 591__ $$aORTHOPEDICS$$b9 / 140 = 0.064$$c2024$$dQ1$$eT1 000168091 592__ $$a2.131$$b2024 000168091 593__ $$aMedicine (miscellaneous)$$c2024$$dQ1 000168091 593__ $$aSurgery$$c2024$$dQ1 000168091 593__ $$aSports Science$$c2024$$dQ1 000168091 593__ $$aOrthopedics and Sports Medicine$$c2024$$dQ1 000168091 594__ $$a8.8$$b2024 000168091 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000168091 700__ $$aThorkildsen, Joachim 000168091 700__ $$aKurisunkal, Vineet 000168091 700__ $$aPuri, Ajay 000168091 700__ $$aRuggieri, Pietro 000168091 700__ $$aHoudek, Matthew T. 000168091 700__ $$aBoyle, Richard A. 000168091 700__ $$aEbeid, Walid 000168091 700__ $$aBotello, Eduardo 000168091 700__ $$aMorris, Guy V. 000168091 700__ $$aLaitinen, Minna K. 000168091 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-5754-6501$$aGómez Vallejo, Jesús$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000168091 700__ $$aBOOM Consensus Scientific Committee 000168091 7102_ $$11013$$2830$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
