Medpor porous polyethylene implants are commonly used for facial skeletal reconstruction due to reported biocompatibility, fibrovascularization, and durability. While uncommon, late implant infections are an important consideration. We report delayed infections in 2 patients after unilateral total oncologic maxillectomy and reconstruction using Medpor implants for an ossifying fibroma and squamous cell carcinoma, respectively. In the first patient, annual interval computed tomography (CT) scans showed no recurrence of tumor or inflammatory changes. The second was lost to follow-up after adjuvant chemoradiation 1 year after resection. Patients both presented with swelling, drainage, and erythema around the implant at a mean of 4.5 years following maxillectomy. Both failed several attempts at conservative treatment. Cultures of implants removed at a mean of 2.5 months after infection grew α-hemolytic Streptococcus in the first and multiple organisms in the second, showing that the potential for delayed infection should be considered years after reconstruction.

Medpor多孔聚乙烯植入物通常用于面部骨骼重建,因为有报道的生物相容性,纤维血管化和耐久性。虽然不常见,但晚期植入物感染是一个重要的考虑因素。我们报告了2例单侧全肿瘤上颌骨切除术和使用Medpor植入物重建骨化性纤维瘤和鳞状细胞癌后的延迟感染。在第一位患者中,每年的间隔计算机断层扫描 (CT) 扫描显示没有肿瘤复发或炎症变化。第二例在切除后1年辅助放化疗后失访。上颌骨切除术后平均4.5年,患者均在植入物周围出现肿胀,引流和红斑。两次保守治疗都失败了。在感染后平均2.5个月去除的植入物培养物在第一个生物中生长了 α-溶血性链球菌,在第二个生物中生长了多种生物,表明应在重建后数年内考虑延迟感染的可能性。
