Parametric study of bone drilling by the Kirschner wire
Medical Engineering & Physics, 2021In order to improve the quality and reduce mechanical damage during bone drilling in surgeries, the three key parameters in drilling by the Kirschner wire are experimentally studied based on the response surface method (RSM). And through response surface analysis, a predictive model of each factor and response value is established.

Experimental study of bone drilling by Kirschner wire
Medical Engineering & Physics, 2022Mechanical and thermal damage to the bone tissue during drilling process is inevitable and directly affects the postoperative recovery. According to clinical practices and present academic investigations, this study tries to reduce bone damage by experimental investigation of bone drilling by Kirschner wire considering the drilling force and ...

Tensile strength of wire-reinforced bone cement and twisted stainless-steel wire
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1977To assess the tensile strength of wire-reinforced bone cement as used for posterior spine fusion, standardized bone-cement specimens reinforced with stainless steel and Vitallium wires 0.5 and one millimeter in diameter were tested in tension. The results showed that tensile strength of bone cement was increased significantly by reinforcing it with ...

Enhancement of Kirschner Wire for Bone Drilling
Volume 2: Processing, 2014This study advances design and manufacturing of the tip geometry of the Kirschner wire (K-wire) — a popular orthopedic drilling tool with a sharp, three-sided trocar point — for improved bone drilling efficiency. Since there is no active cutting edge as there is for twist drill bits, bone drilling forces can be so large as to cause excessive heat ...

Kirschner wire fixation of bone plates in craniotomies
The American Journal of Surgery, 1958Abstract Kirschner wire fixation of bone plates in craniotomies is a rather simple and time-saving method. Usually three wires, 0.8 mm. in size, suffice to produce stable fixation. The wire is drilled from the margin of the craniotomy into the bone plate, but it also can be driven in from the bone plate into the margin of the craniotomy.

The effect of cerclage wires on the strength of diaphyseal bone
Injury, 1995In ten mature rabbits two cerclage wires were placed 9 mm apart on one femur. The contralateral femora were sham-operated and served as controls. The animals were killed after 99 days and the femora subjected to four-point bending tests. All wires were embedded in callus.

The Thermal Effects of Kirschner Wire Fixation on Small Bones
Journal of Hand Surgery, 1999The aim of this study was to assess bone heating caused by the passage of fine (<2 mm) K-wires of different types. Stainless steel K-wires of trocar and diamond point configurations (0.8–2.0 mm) were drilled into the metatarsal bones from a freshly amputated lower limb at a constant force.

Why fine-wire fixators work: An analysis of pressure distribution at the wire–bone interface
Journal of Biomechanics, 2007Tensioned fine-wire external fixator systems have been used successfully for the treatment of fractures, mal-unions and for limb lengthening for many years. When used in metaphyseal bone, this type of fixator has a lower loosening rate than half-pin fixators.

Development of Bone Graft Using Wire Mesh Solids
Volume 3, 2004Bone graft is often used to restore instability of lumber spines following a surgical removal due to tumour growth or other diseases. The application of a newly developed, low cost wire mesh is examined as a potential candidate for graft. Mechanical properties of the mesh block were tested and finite element analyses were conducted to calculate stress ...

Modifications to the Kelsey Fry Bone Awls for use in circumpalatal wiring
British Journal of Oral Surgery, 1982Abstract A simple modification to the Kelsey Fry Bone Awls is described for use in circumpalatal wiring of an appliance to the edentulous maxilla.
