The temperature at the popliteal fossa during cement curing and its relationship with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has not been investigated. Fifty-six consecutive patients who underwent primary TKA were recruited. The temperatures at the popliteal fossa were measured during bone cement exothermic polymerization. Postoperative operated leg ascending venographies were performed 5 days after TKA for screening of DVT. The maximum temperatures were 32.5°C ± 1.0°C at the popliteal fossa during cement curing. No significant difference was found of the maximum temperatures in the popliteal fossa between the non-DVT and DVT groups. The present study indicated that the heat resulting from polymerization of the cement may not be a possible cause of damage to the veins surrounding the knee, and it may have no relationship with DVT.
