Abstract

Bones fracture mainly due to an accident or by diseases, when human starts to do work and activity. It is the essential part of orthopaedic, truamatology and bone biopsy. The problem of bone fracture in medicine due to an accident, aging or diseases has existed since humans started to do work and activity. Therefore the process of bone drilling is an essential part of internal immobilization in orthopaedic and trauma surgery. The main concern in bone cutting is the mechanical and thermal damage to the bone tissue induced by high-speed power tools. Recent technological improvements are concerned with the efforts to decrease the force required by the surgeon when cutting the bone as well as to increase the surgery speed. The generated heat by bone drilling process is dissipated by blood flow and tissue fluids and also partially carried away by the chips. However, some heat may be conducted into the work piece (bone) by thermal conductivity. Increasing the temperature in drilling zone results in essence change of bone alkaline phosphatises. This successively causes thermal and cellular necrosis, which subsequently provides osseous necrosis and drop in mechanical strength of the drilling zone. All these factors have forced the researchers to do wide investigations on bone drilling process and the way in which machining parameters influence the level of temperature elevation in drilling zone. Subsequently, this review includes all relevant investigations by means of experimental methods used and methodology, results and conclusion by various researches were also compared.
