Thermal analysis in the drilling of solid rigid foam materials and ex-vivo bovine bones

View document

Bibliographic Details
Summary:Bone is a dynamic, highly vascularized tissue with a unique capacity to heal and regenerate without scarring. However, drilling remains a concern in several clinical procedures due to thermal damage of the bone and surrounding tissue. The success of this surgeries is dependent of many factors and also in temperature generation during the drilling bone. When an excessive heat is produced during the drilling, thermal necrosis can occur and the bone suffers injuries. Studies have shown that the increased temperature is directly related with the drilling parameters, particularly, the drill speed, feed-rate, applied force, the depth of cut, the geometry of the drill bit, the use or not of a cooling system and also the type of bone.
