Skin Temperature following Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Longitudinal Observational Study

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most effective method of pain relief and increased functional status for end-stage knee arthritis. We aimed to assess in patients undergoing unilateral, primary TKA whether the temperature of the operated limb, compared to the non-operative limb, remains elevated up to 1 year postoperatively.
