Background: Titanium has been the conventional implant material of choice for fixation in both primary and metastatic spine tumor surgeries (MSTS). However, these implants result in artifact generation during postoperative computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, resulting in poor planning of radiotherapy (RT) and suboptimal tumor surveillance. Carbon fiber-reinforced polyetheretherketone (CFR-PEEK) implants have gained momentum for instrumentation in MSTS due to their radiolucent properties.

- Limited education on radiation hazards and safety precautions in orthopaedics highlights a significant knowledge gap among surgeons about exposure risks and guidelines.
- A survey showed alarming results, with 15% of surgeons unaware of radiation risks, 82% unaware of yearly exposure limits, and considerable ignorance regarding protective practices and equipment.
- To ensure safety, orthopaedic surgeons must better understand radiation exposure limits and the associated health risks, adhering to safety protocols to protect themselves, their colleagues, and their patients.
