ABSTRACT
Bisphosphonates can directly inhibit osteoclasts, which may lead to increased bone density, reduced blood flow, and osteonecrosis of the jaw. Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis is usually observed in the jaw bone. In this article, we report a patient with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) complicated with wrist scaphoid osteomyelitis. Furthermore, we introduce the pathogenesis, treatment, and prevention of BRONJ.
