Abstract

The temperature was measured using thermo-couples in the bone-cement interface during cement curing in 30 total hip replacement operations. A modern technique was used, including lavage and precooled vacuum-mixed cement. The mean maximum temperature in the acetabulum was 43 (38–52) °C and in the femur 40 (29–56) °C. The use of a precooled femoral prosthesis did not affect the peak temperature.
