Hand Surgery and Fluoroscopic Eye Radiation Dosage

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to (1) perform a prospective pilot comparison of the impact of large versus mini C-arm fluoroscopy on resultant eye radiation exposure and (2) test the hypothesis that the use of either modality during routine hand surgery does not exceed the current recommended limits to critical eye radiation dosage. Over a 12-month period, eye radiation exposure was prospectively measured by a board-certified hand surgeon using both large and mini C-arm fluoroscopy. For each modality, accumulate… Show more

“…Giordano et al 10 tested scatter on a phantom limb and showed minimal scatter associated with various positions of the phantom limb with the mini C-arm in the vertical position. Wang et al 17 found that radiation at the level of the surgeon's eyes was below the acceptable limit for both mini and standard C-arm. This supports our findings of no notable radiation detected at the level of the surgeon's eyes.…”

“…To our knowledge, there are only two studies testing the effect on scatter radiation with MI in the surgical field. 1,17 We think we are the first to examine the magnitude of the radiation exposure that the first assistant is exposed to from the mini C-arm.…”

“…Ainsi de nombreuses études réalisées ces dernières années ont mis en avant le risque augmenté de pathologies liées à l'irradiation chez les soignants en rapport avec l'utilisation des rayonnements ionisants [1][2][3][4][5]. La littérature médicale s'intéresse de plus en plus au risque d'irradiation présent au sein d'un bloc opératoire, et l'orthopédie est devenue l'une des chirurgies les plus exposées aux rayonnements ionisants [6][7][8][9][10][11]. De nombreuses travaux ont déjà mis en avant le risque augmenté de cataracte radio-induite dans les populations exposées [4,5,11].…”
