What factors affect fluoroscopy use during Bernese periacetabular osteotomy for acetabular dysplasia?

摘要

Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is the treatment of choice for acetabular dysplasia in the skeletally mature. Little is known about factors affecting fluoroscopy use in PAO. Therefore, we strived to determine patient and surgery factors are associated with the amount of fluoroscopy time and radiation dose during PAO. We performed a retrospective review of 378 patients who underwent PAO between January 2012 and August 2017. The mean age was 21.7 years and 326 (86%) were females. A total of 85 patients underwent concomitant arthroscopy and 60 underwent open arthrotomy. We recorded fluoroscopy time in minutes and radiation dose area product (DAP) in mGy·m . Multivariate general linear modeling identified independent predictors of fluoroscopy time and radiation dose. Mean fluoroscopy time was 1.21 minutes and mean fluoroscopy DAP was 0.71 mGy·m . Multivariate predictors of increased fluoroscopy time were male gender (  = 0.001), surgeon (  P P = 0.001), surgeon (  P
