There is a concern amongst knee surgeons that during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) certain particles could be generated which might become left inside the knee, and which could become a possible cause of third body wear. Especially during the sawing process, when an oscillating saw is used through slots in a cutting block, there is a potential cause for metal debris generation. So far however, no data exist to substantiate and quantify the amount of metal debris left in situ after TKA, and it was the purpose of this study to evaluate this.
