The risks of occupational radiation exposure for orthopaedic surgeons has not been well documented. The use of fluoroscopy in orthopaedics has reduced morbidity and by reducing operative time and by reducing the invasiveness of procedures. Increasingly procedures requiring the use of fluoroscopy are being developed. In a prospective study we have monitored cumulative radiation exposure over a 6-month period. The exposure levels are well below the maximum dose limits for ionizing radiation as recommended by European Economic Communities EURATOM directives. Experimentally using a phantom patient it was shown that the exposure to ionizing radiation during the insertion of a dynamic hip screw was minimal. Despite the low level of exposure care should be exercised when using fluoroscopy.
骨科医生职业性辐射暴露的风险尚未得到充分记录。骨科中荧光镜检查的使用通过缩短手术时间和降低手术侵入性降低了发病率。越来越多需要使用荧光镜检查的手术正在被开发出来。在一项前瞻性研究中，我们监测了6个月期间的累积辐射暴露情况。暴露水平远低于欧洲经济共同体（EURATOM）指令所建议的电离辐射最大剂量限值。通过实验使用模拟患者表明，在插入动力髋螺钉期间的电离辐射暴露极小。尽管暴露水平较低，但在使用荧光镜检查时仍应谨慎。
