“…[15,16] This observation aligns with existing research emphasizing the importance of minimizing radiation exposure during surgical procedures to protect healthcare professionals. [17,18] Additionally, our study revealed a reduction in surgical duration. [19] Previous studies align with this finding, indicating that decreased surgical time can reduce patient trauma and lower healthcare costs.…”

Intramedullary nailing is a common orthopedic procedure, but current methods for distal screw locking have several limitations. This study introduces and evaluates a novel technique that aims to overcome these challenges. The findings were statistically significant, with P-values set at .05. Compared to the traditional method, the novel technique demonstrated several advantages. Mean operation times were reduced to 1.2 hours for the new method, in contrast to 1.5 hours for the control group. Hospital stays also favored the new technique, with a mean duration of 2 days, while the control group averaged 3 days. A significant benefit was the marked decrease in radiation exposure, with the new technique eliminating radiation entirely, recording 0.0 mSv compared to the control group’s 2.5 mSv. The procedure’s success, gauged by the accurate positioning of screws, was higher for the new technique at 92% versus the control’s 78%. Furthermore, complication rates were notably lower in the new method, with a 6% incidence compared to 16% in the traditional approach. While the data suggest that the new technique holds promising advantages, such as reduced operation times, decreased radiation exposure, and fewer complications, it is essential to conduct more extensive research for comprehensive validation. Despite the optimistic results, the study acknowledges the need for larger-scale trials to solidify these findings.
