Event Description

It was reported the patient underwent a revision surgery due to heterotopic bone growth and dislocation involving bilateral temporomandibular joint prostheses.The patient was received stock implants over a decade ago, and currently reports limited range of motion, headaches, pain and swelling.Fifteen months ago, the patient reported heterotopic ossification in the joint and implant dislocation on the right side.Thirteen months ago, the patient reported a revision surgery in which the existing implants were re-positioned.Trigger point injections and nerve blocks have been inadequate regarding pain management.No additional patient consequences were reported.

Manufacturer Narrative

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The complaint is confirmed as a revision surgery was reported to address the bone overgrowth and dislocation.No product was returned; therefore, no functional tests or inspections could be conducted.No scans or physician's reports were provided.The non-conformance database could not be reviewed for the screws involved in this case due to the lot numbers remaining unknown.There are no indications of manufacturing defects.The most likely underlying cause of the bone growth is due to patient condition.It was reported that this bone growth was the cause of the dislocation.It could not be determined from the information provided if the limited range of motion and pain were related to the bone growth and dislocation, or if they were separate issues.The root causes of the reported possible allergic reaction to titanium and infection could not be determined.If any further information is found which would change or alter any conclusions or information, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.Zimmer biomet will continue to monitor for trends.The following fields were updated: b4 date of this report b5 describe event or problem d10 device availability g4 date received by manufacturer g7 type of report h2 follow up type h3 device evaluated by manufacturer h6 method code h6 results code h6 conclusions code h10 additional narratives/data.
