摘要

Since R?ntgen’s landmark discovery of x-rays in 1895, fluoroscopy has become an integral surgical tool as well as significant source of radiation. Over the past 30 years, fluoroscopy use has grown, putting the surgeon at increased risk for radiation exposure. The effects of ionizing radiation exposure in humans are well documented and include skin burns, dermatitis, cataracts, and malignancy.4,8,14,18 With such dependence on fluoroscopy, orthopedic surgeons have been identified as being at higher risk for developing cancer than other hospital employees who routinely work with radiation.1,9The mini C-arm is a relatively new advancement that has become popular in hand surgery, as it has sought to increase portability as well as decrease radiation exposure in the intraoperative setting. There have been many studies in the past 10 years that have found a decreased risk of radiation exposure to the surgeon from mini C-arm compared with large C-arm.1,2,5,7,10,13,14,17,21 However, several recent studies have shown that the mini C-arm is still capable of generating considerable radiation exposure to the surgeon, especially if used with disregard to safety practices.6,16Several studies have sought to quantify how much radiation exposure a surgeon’s hands are exposed to during hand surgery using the mini C-arm.15,19,20 These studies were done with intraoperative dosimeters and vary considerably in the amount of radiation exposure reported to the hand surgeon’s hands. Despite many similarities in study design, they differ on which hand the ring dosimeter was worn. All hand surgeons at our institution consistently use their nondominant hand to maintain bone reduction and positioning, leaving their dominant hand free to use the wire driver. This places their nondominant hand much closer to, and occasionally directly in the radiation beam, putting their nondominant hand at risk for significant radiation exposure.We hypothesized that in hand surgery, the nondominant hand receives more radiation exposure than the dominant hand. The main purpose of this study is first to determine whether hand surgeons receive a different amount of radiation exposure to their hands based on hand dominance and second to provide a more accurate assessment of hand radiation exposure to the hand surgeon from mini C-arm fluoroscopy accounting for hand dominance.
