Background summary
X-rays, used in fluoroscopy during surgery, has negative effects for patients
and surgeons. One way to reduce the radiation dose, is to reduce fluoroscopy
time. A few studies report, that surgeon-controlled fluoroscopy reduces
fluoroscopy, when compared with radiographer-controlled fluoroscopy. In the
Netherlands, the standard is radiographer-controlled fluoroscopy
Study objective
To determine wether surgeon-controlled fluoroscopy leads to a lower fluoroscopy
time, during placement of osteosynthesis material in hip fractures.
Study design
Patients, undergoing surgery for hip fractures with placement of osteosynthesis
material (DHS, CHS or Gamma Nail) will be randomized in 2 groups. In de study
group, there will be surgeon-controlled fluoroscopy. In the control group,
there will be radiographer-controlled fluoroscopy
Intervention
Surgeon-controlled fluoroscopy vs. radiographer-controlled fluoroscopy
Study burden and risks
There is no burden for the patient. The risk is negligible.
