Visual inspection performed by medacta r&d department: during the analysis it is evaluated that a lot of residual of ha coating is present on the stem body, in particular almost whole proximal body is covered with ha.It is clear that the stem has not been correctly osseointegrated with the patient bone, and this should be the cause of the reported patient pain (stem movement).Looking at the stem neck and teaper a lot of scratches and signs, together with depp holes, are present, probably due to the difficult revision surgery.It is not possible to determine the root cause of the reported non-osseointegration.
