ABSTRACT
Background:
Fractures of the femur require significant radiation exposure during operations using fluoroscopy (C-arm), posing a high risk of radiation exposure to the medical staff and patients. To address this concern, in this study, we investigated the efficacy of using two fluoroscopy machines simultaneously.Methods:
We categorized 30 patients with femoral neck fracture (FNF) into single and double C-arm groups. The operation and radiation exposure times during a closed reduction and internal fixation operation were investigated to evaluate whether the operation and radiation exposure times were effectively audited when the operation was performed using a double C-arm.Results:
The total operation times were 93.21 ± 20.70 min and 66.69 ± 13.97 min for the single and double C-arm groups, respectively. Additionally, the total radiation times were 100.43 ± 24.59 s and 83.06 ± 19.53 s for the single and double C-arm groups, respectively. Operation and radiation exposure times in the two groups showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).Conclusion:
The use of double C-arm in FNF can reduce operation and radiation exposure times. Hence, using the double C-arm in surgical treatment could reduce the risk of radiation exposure to medical staff and patients.
