Visual inspection performed by r&d project manager during the analysis it is visible that almost proximal half of the stem body is covered with ha coating.This in unexpectable after two years of implatation, meaning that the stem was not correctly osteointegrated with patient bone.Some signs and scratches are present on the neck area probably due to revision surgery.The femoral head is connected with the stem taper.It is not possible to determine the root cause of the uncorrect stem osteointegration.
