J Orthop Sci 2024:S0949-2658(24)00058-7. [PMID: 38637192 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2024.04.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND When a pilot hole is made prior to a screw's insertion into bone, the same drill bit is used irrespective of the bone quality. However, osteoporotic bone is fragile and this may affect the hole diameter, which is of particular concern in cancellous bone. In this study, the relationship between bone density and drill-hole diameter was investigated assuming a pre-drilling process in screw-only osteosynthesis in the metaphysis and epiphysis. METHODS Two types of drill bit (triple-flute [T] and quadruple-flute [Q]) with different shapes and diameters were prepared: type T bits with 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm diameters, and type Q bits with 3.5 mm and 4.2 mm diameters. Drilling was performed manually in simulated bones with four densities: 5, 10, 15, and 20 pounds per cubic foot. We measured the hole diameters with a coordinate measuring machine and analyzed the relationship between the drill-hole diameters and the densities of the simulated bones. We then compared the screw pull-out strength between the two 3.5-diameter drill bits. RESULTS In all cases, the diameters of the drill holes were larger than those of the drill bits. The relationship between the drill-hole diameters and the bone densities was a negative linear correlation. Enlarging the hole diameter decreased the screw pull-out strength. CONCLUSIONS For cannulated drill bits of 3.5, 4.2 and 4.4 mm diameter, the diameter of the drill hole in cancellous bone obtained by the manual drilling technique tends to be larger in low-density (e.g., osteoporotic) compared to high-density (e.g., healthy) bone.

Abstract
Primary implant stability, which refers to the stability of the implant during the initial healing period is a crucial factor in determining the long-term success of the implant and lays the foundation for secondary implant stability achieved through osseointegration. Factors affecting primary stability include implant design, surgical technique, and patient-specific factors like bone quality and morphology. In vivo, the cyclic nature of anatomical loading puts osteosynthesis locking screws under dynamic loads, which can lead to the formation of micro cracks and defects that slowly degrade the mechanical connection between the bone and screw, thus compromising the initial stability and secondary stability of the implant. Monotonic quasi-static loading used for testing the holding capacity of implanted screws is not well suited to capture this behavior since it cannot capture the progressive deterioration of peri‑implant bone at small displacements. In order to address this issue, this study aims to determine a critical point of loss of primary implant stability in osteosynthesis locking screws under cyclic overloading by investigating the evolution of damage, dissipated energy, and permanent deformation. A custom-made test setup was used to test implanted 2.5 mm locking screws under cyclic overloading test. For each loading cycle, maximum forces and displacement were recorded as well as initial and final cycle displacements and used to calculate damage and energy dissipation evolution. The results of this study demonstrate that for axial, shear, and mixed loading significant damage and energy dissipation can be observed at approximately 20 % of the failure force. Additionally, at this load level, permanent deformations on the screw-bone interface were found to be in the range of 50 to 150 mm which promotes osseointegration and secondary implant stability. This research can assist surgeons in making informed preoperative decisions by providing a better understanding of the critical point of loss of primary implant stability, thus improving the long-term success of the implant and overall patient satisfaction.

Abstract
Bone consolidation is increasingly used in the treatment of both benign and malignant bone conditions. Percutaneous vertebroplasty, for example, has been shown to be useful in vertebral compression fractures in the VAPOUR trial which showed its superiority to placebo for pain reduction in the treatment of acute vertebral compressive fractures. Further tools have since been developed, such as kyphoplasty, spinal implants, and even developments in bone cements itself in attempt to improve outcome, such as chemotherapy-loaded cement or cement replacements such as radio-opaque silicon polymer. More importantly, bone fixation and its combination with cement have been increasingly performed to improve outcome. Interventional radiologists must first know the tools available, before they can best plan for their patients. This review article will focus on the tool box available for the modern interventional radiologist.

Abstract
Drilling through bone is one of the common cutting processes involved in many of the orthopedic surgeries. In bone drilling, spindle speed, feed rate, diameter of the drill bit, drill bit geometry and method of cooling are the important parameters to influence the in-situ temperature, drill thrust force and quality characteristics of the drilled hole. Because of the selection of inappropriate drilling parameters, uncontrolled large drilling forces, continuous increase in temperature and mechanical damage to the local host bone were observed. As these adverse effects lead to poor bone–implant contact and often a revision surgery, performing a surgical drilling with optimal parameters is essential to succeed in the surgical procedure. It was observed that in addition to the variations in apparent bone density, the orientation of osteons influences the drilling thrust force and temperature in bone drilling. Ten adult cadaveric human femurs from the age group of 32–65 years were considered and drilling experiments were conducted on proximal-diaphysis, mid-diaphysis and distal-diaphysis regions in the longitudinal, radial and circumferential directions. Bone drilling with different spindle speeds (500, 1000 and 1500[Formula: see text]rpm), feed rates (40, 60 and 80[Formula: see text]mm/min), and apparent density in the range of 0.98[Formula: see text]g/cm3 to 1.98[Formula: see text]g/cm3 was investigated in this work using a 3.20[Formula: see text]mm diameter surgical drill-bit. The generation of in-situ temperature as well as thrust force at each target location was measured using [Formula: see text]-type thermocouple and Kistler[Formula: see text] dynamometer, respectively. Taguchi method based on membership function was used to optimize the drilling process. Then the efficacy of the method in reducing the in-situ temperature and thrust force, and quality of the drilled hole in respect of anatomical region and drilling direction was investigated using pull-out strength of the bone screws. Results revealed that the optimal parameters obtained from the Taguchi method based on membership function could simultaneously minimize the temperature as well as thrust force in bone drilling. The proposed method can be adopted to minimize the temperature and thrust force, and choose the best location nearest to the defect site for strong implant fixation by using CT datasets of the patient as the only input.

[PMID: 30908880 PMCID: PMC6594527 DOI: 10.1111/os.12436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2018] [Revised: 01/23/2019] [Accepted: 01/26/2019] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the bone hardness of different anatomical regions of the human radius and its impact on the pullout strength of screws. METHODS Fresh radius bones were obtained from three donated cadavers. They were divided into three parts: proximal metaphysis, shaft, and distal metaphysis. The proximal metaphysis contains the head, neck, and radial tuberosity. The distal metaphysis includes the palmaris radius and the styloid process. The shaft of the radius was divided into nine segments of equal length. The bone hardness of three radiuses, one from each cadaver, was measured by Vickers microindentation hardness tests, and the screw pullout strength was examined in the other three radiuses using a materials testing machine. The trend between radius hardness and pullout strength was analyzed by using an analysis of variance randomized block design. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the linear correlation between the bone hardness and the pullout strength of the human radius. RESULTS The mean hardness ranged from 33.30 HV (the head) to 43.82 HV (the diaphysis). The hardest part of the radius was the shaft, with a value of 42.54 ± 5.59 HV. The proximal metaphysis had a hardness value of 34.15 ± 6.48 HV, and the distal metaphysis hardness value was 35.24 ± 5.17 HV. The shaft was 23.5% harder than the proximal metaphysis and 20% harder than the distal metaphysis. The microhardness test demonstrated that the bone hardness value of the diaphysis was significantly higher than those of both the proximal and distal metaphysis of the radius (both P < 0.05). The mean pullout strength values ranged from 552 N (the distal metaphysis) to 2296 N (the diaphysis). The greatest pullout strength of the radius was observed for the shaft, with a pullout strength of 1727.96 ± 111.44 N. The pullout strength of the proximal metaphysis was 726.33 ± 236.39 N, and the pullout strength of the distal metaphysis was 590.67 ± 36.30 N. The pullout strength of the shaft was 138% greater than that of the proximal metaphysis and 190% greater than that of the distal metaphysis. The pullout strength was also higher in the diaphysis than at both ends of the radius (both P < 0.05). A positive correlation was found between bone hardness and pullout strength (R = 0.927, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Bone hardness and screw pullout strength are higher in the diaphysis of the radius than at either end. The pullout strength is positively related to bone hardness in the human radius.
