Visual inspection performed by medacta r&d hip project manager: during the analysis it is evaluated that almost all ha coating on the stem body has been absorbed by patient bone as expected.There are some ha residuals on the proximal part of the stem close to the resection line, it seems that the stem was implanted little bit proud.On the distal part of the stem some residuals of bone are present.There are some scratches and signs on the neck surface probably due to revision surgery.It is not possible to determine the root cause of reported stem loosening.
