A Bone Reaming System with Tactile Temperature Display
نویسندگان
چکیده
A bone reaming system with temperature tactile sensation display was developed for potential use during bone internal fixation surgery. The developed reaming system will allow tracking of the amount of heat generated inside fractured bones by surgeons throughout the reaming process. It consists of a temperature sensing system to measure the bone cavity temperature, a rotor system to provide the rotational motion to the system, which emulates the rotational motion during a surgical bone-drilling procedure, and a RF receiver for receiving the wireless signal representing the measured temperature. The performance of the temperature sensing system was analyzed, including temperature signal linearity and wireless temperature signal transmission. Experiments were also conducted to play the temperature data from the sensing system over the Internet and allow a remote operator to feel the temperature sensation by using a thermoelectric heating/cooling device. Implementation of the new reaming system will allow surgeons to perform feedback control of temperature generation inside bone cavities, and hence, reduce the potential risks of bone internal fixation surgery significantly.

A Bone-reaming System Using Micro Sensors for Internet Force-feedback Control
The development of a medical surgical tool packaged with micro sensors for transmission of Supermedia information over the Internet is described in this paper. We define Supermedia as a set of communication media, which encompasses acoustic, force, visual, audio, temperature, tactile, and chemical (e.g., taste an smell) information, and which can be physically experienced by a communicator. In ...
متن کاملDevelopment of A Bone Reaming System Using Micro Sensors For Internet Force-feedback Control
Internal fixation is a widely used treatment method to repair bone fracture, which is one of the most common orthopedic trauma. However, in reaming of the intramedullary canal to facilitate insertion of a guiding rod by creating a surgical passage, severe disturbances such as increased local cortical temperature and elevation of intramedullary pressure can occur. These disturbances have resulte...
متن کاملFriction burns within the tibia during reaming. Are they affected by the use of a tourniquet?
We have carried out a prospective, randomised trial to measure the rise of temperature during reaming of the tibia before intramedullary nailing. We studied 34 patients with a mean age of 35.1 years (18 to 63) and mean injury severity score of 10 (9 to 13). The patients were randomised into two groups: group 1 included 18 patients whose procedure was undertaken without a tourniquet and group 2,...
متن کاملCardiopulmonary response to reamed intramedullary nailing of the femur with a traditional reaming system and a one-step reamer-irrigator-aspirator reaming system; an experimental study in pigs
Introduction There is general agreement that early internal stabilization in long bone fractures in severely injured patients is advantageous. Intramedullary reaming and nailing, however, include increased intramedullary pressure. This may cause intravasation of bone marrow contents, leading to bone marrow embolisation and altered cardiopulmonary function. Possible beneficial effects of attenua...
متن کاملSequential harvesting of bone graft from the intramedullary canal of the femur.
The effectiveness of using the Reamer/Irrigator/Aspirator (RIA) System (Synthes, Inc, West Chester, Pennsylvania) to obtain bone graft from the intramedullary canal of long bones for the treatment of bone defects and nonunions has been previously documented. However, there is nothing in the literature discussing the potential for reaming the same canal at subsequent surgeries. The authors detai...
