Visual inspection performed by hip r&d project manager.During the analysis it is evaluated that the ha coating is present on almost whole proximal half of the stem body.This means that the stem was not correctly osseointegrated.This is unexpected behaviour considering that the stem was implanted since 2016.The incorrect osseointegration is reasonable the root cause of reported stem loosening.Some scratches and signs are present on the neck surface probably due to revision surgery.It is not clearly evaluable the clinical cause of incorrect stem osseointegration.Batch review performed on 08-nov-2021.Lot 162983: (b)(4) items manufactured and released on 08-sep-2016.Expiration date: 2021-jul-19.No anomalies found related to the problem.To date, (b)(4) items of the same lot have been sold without any similar reported event.
