Abstract: | When the C-arm is used as a table in upper extremity surgery, postoperative plain radiographs can be obtained by placing the x-ray cassette directly on the image intensifier. This has many advantages, including more rapid performance than conventional techniques, a high-quality image, and no need for a recovery room radiograph. Additionally, there is no overlying splint material to obscure image detail, and the extremity can be positioned as desired by the operating surgeon. |
