Study Summary
Thirty (30) orthopaedic surgeons from the University of Florida Department of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation will be recruited and enrolled in the study to determine whether having a laser pointed on a fluoroscopy machine can significantly decrease the amount of radiation exposure as measured while obtaining multiple views during surgery as well as decrease radiation exposure and time to accomplish the goals of surgery.
Primary Outcome
All dosimeters will be read for total radiation exposure. Data analysis will include simple statistics to compare the total radiation exposure and number of shots taken per task using each of the fluoroscopy machines with laser pointer.
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Surgeons using fluoroscopy with laser pointer
- PROCEDURE Surgeons using fluoroscopy without laser pointer
