Effect of THR and TKR surgery on aural temperature. Pyrexia (fever) was monitored by measurement of aural temperatures, with pyrexia diagnosed when the temperature was at, or higher than, 37.5°C. The points represent mean ± SD, P ≥ 0.05 for THR and TKR, n = 10. SD, standard deviation; THR, total hip replacement; TKR, total knee replacement.
