Orthopaedic Clinic and Polyclinic of the University of Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany.
Objective: Exact drilling into the ischemic areas of necrotic lesions of the femoral head remains a challenging procedure, particularly in obese patients. This study was conducted to evaluate the precision of fluoroscopically based drilling and the associated radiation exposure in an in-vitro model of adiposis.
Materials And Methods: In an in-vitro model of necrotic lesions in adiposis, 20 sawbones were drilled under the guidance of an intraoperative navigation system (VectorVision, BrainLAB, Munich, Germany) and 20 more were drilled conventionally under fluoroscopic control only.
