Radiation Protection in the Orthopedics Department: Insights From a Cross-Sectional Study

The findings of the study comply with the global trends that may be traced in the investigations of other studies where inconsistent use of protective equipment and a lack of corresponding knowledge were prevalent. The current investigation accentuates the importance of mandatory radiation safety training and regular monitoring of the enforcement of protective equipment use; moreover, prioritizing these measures can protect surgeons from the enduring risks of radiation exposure, such as cataracts, cancer, and other radiation-induced disorders.
