  • Title: Resorption of the zygomatic arch after elevation of a depressed fracture and subsequent osteomyelitis: report of case.
    Author: Levy MI, Monaco F.
    Journal: J Oral Surg; 1978 Mar; 36(3):220-2. PubMed ID: 272456.
    Abstract:
    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.
