Abstract

This case report describes an infectious complication related to the use of calcified triglyceride (Kryptonite Bone Cement) in post-traumatic midface reconstruction. Ultimately, the infected material required removal, and the facial deformity was repaired with subsequent procedures. The literature suggests that bone cement products should be used with caution when in contact with the paranasal sinuses.
