The reported event could be confirmed as the surgeon provided a ct scan for planning the revision device that showed the right tmj device was removed, and a spacer was implanted.The rough surface of the mandible shows that significant bone was removed, which indicated the prior existing heterotopic bone formation.The engineering department reviewed those images, confirmed that tmj devices were removed, and recommended the surgeon to place a fat graft after implanting the new devices to prevent ankylosis again.Based on the investigation, there is no indication of an incorrectly working product or any design, material, or manufacturing-related issues.Therefore, no corrective and/or preventive actions are deemed necessary at this time.
