It was reported that the patient underwent a revision of temporomandibular implants on the right side due to heterotopic bone growth.Leading up to the revision, the patient complained of increased pain.During the revision, excess bone growth was removed around the joint and the fossa component was replaced.No additional patient consequences were reported.

This follow-up report is being submitted to relay additional information.The complaint is confirmed as a revision was reported.No product was returned as it was discarded; therefore, no functional tests or inspections could be performed.No x-rays, scans, pictures, or physician's reports were provided.The dhr could not be reviewed due to the lot number being unknown.The most likely underlying cause of the complaint is a patient condition causing heterotopic bone growth.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.
