Fluoroscopy for transpedicular screw placement in scoliosis: what is the best method of measuring radiation exposure?

We congratulate the authors for reporting their results. Ege et al. have shared their results that they got from the fluoroscopy device retrospectively. We think that this study method could not prove the exact amount of radiation exposure that impacts the surgical team correctly. The authors compare their study with similar studies (2, 3) that measure radiation exposure by dosimetry as more objectively. Disuse of dosimetry damages the objectivity of the study and limits the article. The authors of the article did not measure amount of radiation per screw, in contrast to the studies they reference. This is the other weak point of the article. REFERENCES
