Abstract:
Among different graft materials for craniofacial reconstruction, calcium phosphate cements have the advantages of alloplastic grafts and wide use. The authors report a case of foreign body reaction following frontal reconstruction with JectOS (an injectable calcium orthophosphate cement; Kasios) and reviewed the literature on complications of this material after craniofacial reconstruction from 2002 to 2017. Complications were categorized into two groups: immunologic reactions (consisting of seroma collection, chronic sinus mucosa swelling, and foreign body reaction) and non-immune events (infection, fragmentation, and ejection). It is wise to use calcium phosphate-based material only in selected cases with small defects, and long-term follow-up is needed to observe their consequences.
