Abstract

Bone drilling is a common orthopedic procedure used to produce drill holes for screw insertion to repair fractured bone. Hole quality depends not only on the drill geometry but also on the cutting parameters, drilling force, and drilling technique, therefore, skilled personnel are required to successfully perform bone drilling. The drilling process should limit the generation of heat (thermal energy) to avoid osteonecrosis caused by interrupted blood supply to bone tissue. Studies were performed to determine the optimal material type and infill percentage for fabricating bone phantoms via 3D printing. Phantoms made from PA, PLA, and PET were produced using different infill percentages. Our results show large differences in quality among certain materials and demonstrate that 3D printing can be successfully used for manufacturing bone phantoms.
