Event or Problem Description

|
It was reported that the surgeon is planning a revision due to an allergic reaction, facial swelling, and the presence of polyethylene particles.It was reported that the patient has had periodic facial swelling for the past year.The surgeon believes the patient needs to be revised due to wear of the fossa; that a custom implant is needed because there is not much zygomatic arch left for stock implant placement; and that the patient requires an all titanium implant as allergy testing came back as reactive.
