Summary

This study investigated bone drilling with Kirschner wires, finding that lower rotational speed and bevel angle, combined with a higher feed rate, minimize bone damage, drilling force, and thermal effects for better surgical outcomes.

  • Evaluated Kirschner wire bevel angle, feed speed, and rotational speed.

    • Main Results:

    • Bone chip size correlates with drilling force and temperature.
    • Low drilling temperature does not guarantee minimal damage area.
    • Higher feed rates expedite the drilling process.
    • Optimized parameters (lower speed/angle, higher feed) reduce thermal damage, drilling force, and burrs.

    Conclusions:

    • Drilling parameters significantly influence bone damage metrics.
    • A rapid drilling process at high feed rates is recommended.
    • Specific parameter adjustments can effectively reduce bone trauma during Kirschner wire drilling.
