This study presents an analytical model to predict bone drilling temperature, crucial for orthopedic surgery. Optimized parameters minimize heat, reducing necrosis risk during internal fixation procedures.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Engineering
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Materials Science
Background:
- Bone drilling generates heat, potentially causing necrosis and compromising orthopedic internal fixation.
- Understanding and controlling temperature during bone drilling is critical for surgical success.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate an analytical model for predicting temperature during bone drilling.
- To investigate the influence of drilling parameters on bone temperature.
- To identify optimal parameters for minimizing drilling-induced heat.
Main Methods:
- An analytical heat transfer model combining tool-chip equilibrium and bone heat distribution was developed.
- Experimental validation was performed using bovine bone samples.
- Response surface methodology was employed to derive a mathematical model from experimental data.
Main Results:
- The analytical model accurately predicted process temperatures, correlating well with experimental findings.
- Increased rotational speed directly elevated drilling temperature.
- Feed rate exhibited a complex effect on temperature due to tool-bone contact time and friction variations.
Conclusions:
- The developed analytical model provides a calibration-free method for predicting bone drilling temperature.
- Optimal drilling parameters (2.5mm tool diameter, 500 rpm, 30 mm/min feed rate) were identified to achieve a minimal temperature of 35.6°C.
- Controlling drilling temperature is essential for preventing thermal necrosis in orthopedic procedures.
