An event regarding abnormal ion levels and impingement (range of motion) involving a restoration modular body was reported.The range of motion issue was confirmed by medical review.Method & results: -product evaluation and results: not performed as devices were not returned.-medical records received and evaluation: a review of the provided medical records and x-rays from the previous event by a clinical consultant indicated: [.]procedure-related factors: - suboptimal component position must certainly be present although the evidence is indirect due to absence of x-rays.Patient-related factors - ehlers-danlos disease with severe soft tissue laxity - multiple revision surgeries (three meanwhile in 2017) have contributed to further decrease in soft tissue quality around the involved hip.- higher patient activity level possibly a secondary factor of lower relevance.Device-related factors: - none, consistent with the type of failure that was already present prior to implantation of the current devices.Diagnosis: - an adverse mix of patient-related factors (ehlers-danlos soft tissue laxity, multiple surgeries in a short time frame with possibly a higher patient activity level) in combination with procedure-related factors regarding suboptimal component position with impingement have contributed to multifactorial hip instability with persistent recurrent dislocation requiring a third surgical intervention within one year in an attempt to solve the problem.-product history review: all devices in the reported lot were manufactured and accepted into final stock with no relevant reported discrepancies.-complaint history review: there have been no other similar events for the lot referenced.Conclusions: a review of the provided information by a clinical consultant concluded: an adverse mix of patient-related factors (ehlers-danlos soft tissue laxity, multiple surgeries in a short time frame with possibly a higher patient activity level) in combination with procedure-related factors regarding suboptimal component position with impingement have contributed to multifactorial hip instability with persistent recurrent dislocation requiring a third surgical intervention within one year in an attempt to solve the problem.Additional information, including x-rays, follow up notes and return of the device are needed to fully investigate the event.If further information becomes available and/or the product is returned, this investigation will be re-opened.
