ABSTRACT
We examined thromboplastin activity (TA) of monocytes and release of oxygen-derived free radicals (ODRFs) from monocytes and granulocytes before and after implantation of a hip or a knee prosthesis in 7 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and in 8 patients with arthrosis. Monocyte TA rose threefold on the first postoperative day in the rheumatoid patients, but was unaltered postoperatively in the arthrosis patients. Granulocyte chemiluminescence doubled in the arthrosis group on the second postoperative day, but was unaltered in the rheumatoid patients. Monocyte chemiluminescence was not influenced by the operation. Thus, leukocytes from the rheumatoid patients responded differently from surgical trauma when compared with leukocytes from the arthrosis patients. This difference may have an impact postoperatively.
