METHODS Under a fluoroscope, a surgeon inserted 3 mm guide wires into plastic femurs from the lateral cortex to the femoral head center while the surgeon did or did not wear Pico Linker, which are wearable smart glasses where the fluoroscopic video was displayed(10 guide wires each). RESULTS The tip apex distance, radiation exposure time and total insertion time were significantly shorter while wearing the Pico Linker smart glasses. CONCLUSION This study indicated that the Pico Linker smart glasses can improve accuracy, reduce radiation exposure time, and reduce total insertion time. This is due to the fact that the Pico Linker smart glasses enable surgeons to keep their eyes on the operation field.展开更多
