Abstract
» The damaging effects to human tissue caused by radiation exposure have been documented since the first reports regarding use of radiographs in the late nineteenth century. » Orthopaedic surgeons and residents often are undereducated about the risks associated with radiation exposure and the recommended safety precautions to help mitigate these potential risks. » Orthopaedic surgeons need to adopt the ALARA (as low as reasonably achievable) principle: whenever possible, all available precautions should be taken to keep all members of the operating room safe from radiation exposure while emphasizing the best appropriate care for patients. » An emphasis on radiation safety and protection should be universally incorporated into graduate medical education.
