Diminishing surgeon’s radiation exposure in percutaneous forefoot deformity sur...
Xará-Leite, Francisco; Carrapatoso, Manuel; Videira, Sara; Barbosa, Tiago; Rodrigues, Cláudia; Gonçalves, Isabel; Costa, LuísExposure to ionizing radiation entails health risks to the medical staff. In minimally invasive orthopedic foot surgery, this can become a particularly important aspect, due to patient and surgeon positioning relative to the x-ray source. While using the ‘classical’ positioning of patient, C-arm and surgical team disregards some of the most basic principles of self-safety, particularly in those centres with lim...

Durante o posicionamento “clássico” do doente, o C-arm e a equipa desconsideram alguns dos mais elementares princípios de segurança, particularmente nos centros com ...
