https://www.selleckchem.com/products/isa-2011b.html The technique for placement of orthopedic hardware remains unchanged despite technological advances. The surgeon controls drill bit speed and advancement, which risks drill bit overpenetration, or plunge. Measurement is performed as an additional step, introducing measurement error and increasing operative time. A dual-motor drill was created to control drill variables and combine drilling and measurement into a single step. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a dual-motor drill could reduce drilling and measurement errors while increasing the speed of placement of orthopedic hardware. Five orthopedic surgeons drilled and measured 10 holes with a standard drill and a dual-motor drill in randomized bicortical bone blocks. The bone blocks were placed on standard ballistic gels, which left a defect from drill bit overpenetration that could be measured with a calibrated gauge. The accuracy of drilling was determined by the depth of the defect in the ballistic gel and was compared between groups. Finally, time for drilling and measurement was collected and compared between groups. Overpenetration for the dual-motor drill (0.5±0.3 mm) was significantly less than for the standard drill (8.4±1.9 mm) (P less then .0001). Depth measurement error for the dual-motor drill (0.6±0.3 mm) was significantly less than for the standard drill (2.6±0.5 mm) (P less then .0001). Drilling and measurement time for the dual-motor drill (6.0±2.2 seconds) was significantly less than for the standard drill (13.4±3.9 seconds) (P less then .0001). Use of a dual-motor drill reduced overpenetration, improved measurement accuracy, and reduced time spent during placement of orthopedic hardware.
