Abstract
BACKGROUND:
This study sought to quantify the total patient radiation exposure during fluoro-assisted direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA). We hypothesized that the patient radiation exposure would fall within acceptable published limits for a 1-time patient exposure.
CONCLUSIONS:
Total patient radiation exposure was nearly identical with previously published values for a screening mammogram (3 mGy) and 4 times less than that of a standard chest computed tomography (13 mGy). Although it is difficult to ascertain the exact patient-absorbed radiation, our data suggest that a 1-time exposure during DAA THA is likely negligible and provides the surgeon with additional data for counseling patients preoperatively.
La exposición total de radiación del paciente era casi idéntica con los valores publicados previamente para una mamografía de detección (3 mGy) y 4 veces menos que el de una tomografía computarizada de tórax estándar (13 mGy). Aunque es difícil determinar la exacta de radiación absorbida por el paciente, nuestros datos sugieren que una exposición de 1-tiempo durante DAA THA es probable insignificante y proporciona al cirujano datos adicionales para aconsejar a los pacientes antes de la cirugía.
