Radiation exposure to surgeon during selected orthopaedic procedures under fluoroscopic guidance technique

The number of orthopaedic surgical procedures using image intensification fluoroscopic assistance had increased markedly over the past few years. There are growing concerns over possible associated radiation health hazards. In this study, scattered radiation to the eye, hand and neck of the prima...
