Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
In the data analysis, possible endpoints are the absolute radiation exposure and reduction in Gray/cm² as well as the relative radiation exposure and reduction in %. In addition, the radiation exposure can be analyzed according to different body regions, type of surgery, age, and gender. For this purpose, in-house data from the Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery departments are used.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The following quality criteria are important for evaluating the questionnaire with accompanying images: - Correct plane of view - Joints depicted in the correct position - Bone margins clearly shown - Complete image of the implanted material in its correct axial position - Image contrast - Is the intraoperative imaging equivalent to the postoperative imaging? These criteria should be evaluated using an in-house ordinal scale.
