The Effect of Cutting Forces on Bone Related Operational Processes: a Literature Review

Abstract

Cutting mechanics must be known in terms of solving the mechanistic problems to be encountered as a result of the operational processes on the bone. In today's applications, operational procedures such as milling, drilling, cutting and screwing can be performed on the bone as a surgical procedure. The uncontrollable cutting forces that occur as a combination of the microstructure of the bone and the geometric features of the cutting tools and the resulting localized heat (fracture and necrosis) may cause bone damage. The fracture of the cutting tool or the cut bone due to the cutting force depends on the intensity and direction of the forces applied during the operation. In this study, a review of the studies in the literature on what the factors causing bone damage and their effects are reduced. In addition, the information given in this study will be useful as a one-stop document for technicians, engineers and researchers who need information on tool design, cutting force measurements in bone processing operations (in surgical applications such as milling, drilling, cutting, etc.) of cutting forces.
