REVIEW ON DEVELOPMENT OF BONE DRILLING SYSTEM

For the individual not familiar with surgical instruments even a basic knowledge of the instruments and their uses may seem to be a challenging task. Most people have little experience with surgical instruments. The names are difficult; the differences may seem minuscule, and the uses for each instrument even more obscure. The beginner may easily feel intimidated without a proper introduction to the field. Bone is an anistropic material, the drilling of which is an essential part of internal fixation in orthopaedic and trauma surgery. Some research has been carried out into the drilling of bone, but there are no genitive recommendations available on the most suitable drill shape or on the optimum drilling speed that should be used in surgical practice. Electric or pneumatic drillers are necessary in orthopaedic surgeries requiring bone drilling, such as for screws, steel wires, and internal or external fixators insertion. Special medical/ surgical-use drills are fully dismountable and autoclavable, allowing for an appropriate internal and external parts cleaning after use and sterilization assurance. In the paper we have reviewed about different types of orthopedic drilling system, such as hand-held system, image-directed (CT image) based system, temperature based system, automatic systems.
