The event can be confirmed as the surgeon sent an image that showed the left mandibular component was not implanted.Moreover, a new order for the left mandibular component was submitted.On the date of the surgery, the surgeon could not implant the left mandibular component due to the changes in the patient¿s anatomy (the fossa component was implanted).The surgeon took a new scan and ordered a new mandibular component.The surgeon reported that the unusual delay between the planning medical grade ct scan, which was taken in (b)(6) 2022 after the first stage surgical procedure, and the eventual surgical implanting date in (b)(6) 2023 contributed to this event.This patient metabolically creates much heterotopic bone, which may have altered the mandibular anatomy on the lateral surface of the ramus to the point where the mandibular component no longer fits.
