Towards improved orthopaedic drilling at hard to reach bone sites: The design of a compact Self-Feeding Angled Drill Attachment (SFADA)

Bone drilling is a crucial part of orthopaedic surgery. Internal fixation is a ommon orthopaedic procedure that requires drilling to improve healing of bone fractures. Tight spaces around hard to reach bone fractures impede the surgeon during the procedure. As a result there is an increased risk of complications such as thermonecrosis, overshoot...
