Можно ли в данных примерах (ниже) фразу preparation of the femur перевести как "процесс изготовления бедренной кости"?

Design modifications to the implants were made in the late 1970s in order to decrease the tendency for luxation, provide more consistent placement of the acetabular component, and reduce the possibility of damage to the femoral component during preparation of the femur.
These changes included a 20-degree cutaway on the dorsal aspect of the acetabular component, establishment of a guide system for placement of the acetabular component, several minor changes to the femoral component design, and introduction of a femoral component trial prosthesis to be used during preparation of the femur.
