Figure 4

The maximum temperature of 69.21°C was detected in the lunate fossa for the bipolar system whereas the peak temperature was only 49.35°C for the monoplar system at the same location. In addition, peak temperature in the DRUJ reached 54.15°C when using the bipolar system but only 31.81°C for the monoploar application. The temperature of 50°C was never exceeded when using the monopolar system.
