Visual inspection performed by r&d project manager visual inspection performed on 23rd september 2019.The ha coating of the stem was almost totally absorbed and lots of scratches were visible in the neck region, probably some occurred during the revision; anyway, it is not clear if some of these scratches are related to impingement with other products, as the competitor's cup geometry is unknown.From the received piece it is not possible to determine with certainty the root cause of the event, but it could be related to the competitor's cup.
