Role of the Laser Pointer in Budgeting Fluoroscopy Time and Radiation Exposure

Completed

Conditions studied: Healthy

In brief

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.
