Experimental and finite element analysis of surgical drill bits with and without irrigation channel – A case study approach
The aim of this study was to perform a finite element and experimental comparative analysis of the mechanical characteristics of surgical drill bits used in bone and joint surgery applications with and without an irrigation channel. Internally cooled drills are very efficient in maintaining the drilling temperature below the critical level. However, a cooling channel could potentially have a negative influence on the drill structure, particularly in the flutes zone. A commercially available type of surgical drill bit without irrigation channel and a modified variant with the built-in channel were simultaneously loaded with torque, axial and bending forces with magnitudes similar to and higher than those utilized in clinical practice. When loaded under the same conditions, both types of drills showed very similar mechanical properties in the sense of the average von Mises stress in chosen sections and the deflections after plastic deformation. The highest stress was observed in the bending zone which was located at the beginning of the flutes section of the drill. All analysed drills suffered only from plastic deformation without any breakage despite the fact that they were loaded with forces higher than those expected in normal operational conditions.
