Do you re-irradiate for heterotopic ossification in patients who re-develop ossifications?

If the patient had RT 3 months prior and had a revision surgery, would you offer RT again? If so, which dose and fractionation would you use?

There is not much on this subject, but we have retreated patients using 7 Gy in 1 following revision surgery without any obvious detriment.
