title: Avoiding problems in patients with craniotubular bone disorders.
abstract: Since osteomyelitis can occur concurrently with osteopetrosis, all craniotubular bone disorder patients should be treated carefully. We recommend preoperative antibiotic coverage and minimizing any excessive force to avoid the risk of osteomyelitis and jaw fractures when surgery is necessary.
