You are tasked with reviewing a portion of the design specifications (in quotation marks below) for the femoral stem component of a hip joint implant.
“Materials selected for femoral stem should be resistant to plastic deformation”
Provide you expert opinion: is this statement true/false use principles of slip to justify your answer. Write your professional 1-2 sentence expert opinion.
