Abstract:Drilling through bone is widely performed in orthopedic surgeries to fix the plate and implant using bone screws. Clinical observation revealed that the mechanical and thermal damages driven by the uncontrolled drilling operations loosen the implants soon after their fixations. During fracture treatment and reconstruction surgery, the quality of the hole generated is to be considered as an important metric, and therefore drill feed rate and spindle speed, apparent bone density, drill bit geometry, and skill of… Show more
