No formal didactic source exists concerning terminology for movement of the C-arm in the operating room (OR). Many terminologies exist, breeding confusion among OR staff. The objective of this study was to survey the existing C-arm movement terminologies among orthopaedic surgeons and radiologic technologists and propose a standardized nomenclature moving forward.
