Visual inspection performed by r&d project manager from the received parts, no particular signs related to the event were noticed; the liner was signed on its surface, probably occurred during the revision, and the ceramic head did not show any particular sign, except for the inner signs due to the coupling with the stem.From the received parts and information it is not possible to determine the root cause of the event.Note: the acetabular shell was not sent back for analysis, the scrub tech made only the liner and head available to the sales rep.
