Figure 8From: Lower limb orthopaedic surgery results in changes to coagulation and non-specific inflammatory biomarkers, including selective clinical outcome measuresEffect 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.Back to article page
