Detailed Instructions: Given a passage with a question and an answer to that question, classify if the answer actually answers the question into 'yes' or 'no'. Output 'yes' if the answer answers the question and output 'no' if the answer does not answer the question.
Problem:Question: Do large-diameter total hip arthroplasty modular heads require greater assembly forces for initial stability?
Answer: This is the first study to show that 36mm Co-Cr heads have up to 20% lower pull-off connection strength compared with 28mm heads for equivalent assembly forces. This effect is likely to play a role in the high failure rates of large diameter MoM hips.Cite this article: A. R. MacLeod, N. P. T. Sullivan, M. R. Whitehouse, H. S. Gill.
