Intraoperative Fluoroscopic Radiation Exposure During Hip Fracture Fixation: A Study Combining Surgical Experience and Fracture Complexity

Abstract: Aim Hip fracture fixation surgeries are one of the most common surgeries that every trauma unit does regularly. Surgical training and expertise to fix these fractures properly are quite crucial for every orthopaedic surgeon. Therefore, orthopaedic training programmes all over the world consider significant focus on this and teach trainee surgeons expectantly to manage these fractures independently. Surgical fixation of hip fractures often requires fluoroscopy assistance in the operating theatre with… Show more

“…The highest radiation dose was measured in young residents (261.3 cGy/cm 2 ) and the lowest in experienced residents (177.6 cGy/cm 2 ), suspecting that experienced surgeons are treating the more complex fractures (203.2 cGy/cm 2 ). In A1 fractures, radiation exposure was 152.3 cGy/cm 2 , in A2 fractures, 222.7 cGy/cm 2 , and in A3 fractures, 343.3 cGy/cm 2 [5]. Also, in this study, an increasing radiation dose was seen in more complex fractures.…”
