A case of osteomyelitis of the zygomatic arch with complete resorption has been presented. The cause of osteomyelitis of the facial bones was discussed. Infection of the soft tissue after intraoral elevation of fractured zygomas does occur, but rarely leads to osteomyelitis and subsequent bony resorption of the underlying bone. Antibiotics have reduced the incidence of osteomyelitic infections in the past 20 years; however, a vigorous regimen of preoperative and postoperative attention to aseptic technique, proper antibiotics, and close follow-up is required to control these problems.
本文报告了一例颧骨骨髓炎伴完全吸收的病例。对面部骨骼骨髓炎的病因进行了讨论。颧骨骨折经口内复位后软组织感染确实会发生，但很少导致骨髓炎及随后下方骨质的吸收。在过去20年中，抗生素降低了骨髓炎感染的发生率；然而，需要术前和术后严格遵循无菌技术、合理使用抗生素并密切随访的方案来控制这些问题。
