Better Wielding the Electric Drill
Abstract
Abstract
one is a dense, mineral-rich tissue with organic components. Implants such as plates and nails are used to reconstruct fractures. Various types of drills are used in orthopedic surgery, ranging from pneumatic and battery-operated to electric devices, each of which has its own set of benefits and drawbacks.
Standard care is generally achievable through orthopedic battery-operated and pneumatic drills, which are costly and have high maintenance costs. So, orthopedic surgeons frequently employ alternatives such as the Bosch battery drill, and a corded electric drill is generally used in developing nations. These drills are inexpensive, but they cannot be used for reaming. Furthermore, some models of these drills have a constant speed, making them difficult to be utilized for reaming. We offered modifications to this type of drill to control its speed, so it can be used for reaming. There is abundant evidence dismissing misconceptions such as electric drills’ overheating and subsequently leading to bone thermal necrosis. There are multiple scientifically documented methods to effectively sterilize an electric drill. Due to its affordability and ease of maintenance, our innovations, such as speed control and drill cannulation, enable us to adopt this device for most traumatic surgeries, particularly in developing nations.
