Abstract
Bone is a dense, mineral-rich tissue with organic components. Implants such as plates and nails are used to reconstruct fractures. In orthopedic surgery, broad-spectrum of drills ranges from pneumatic to battery-operated to electric drills. Each drill has its own set of benefits and drawbacks.Though the standard of care, the orthopedic battery drill, and pneumatic drills are costly, the expense of maintenance is too high. Orthopedic surgeons frequently employ alternatives such as the Bosch battery drill and a corded electric drill in developing nations. These drills are inexpensive, but they cannot be used for reaming. Furthermore, some models have a constant speed, making them difficult to utilize for reaming.We offer drill modifications to control the speed and use it for reaming. The literature has abundant evidence to dismiss misconceptions concerning electric drill overheating and bone thermal necrosis. There are multiple scientifically documented methods for effectively sterilizing an electric drill. Due to its affordability and ease of maintenance, our innovations, such as speed control and drill cannulation, enable us to adopt it for most trauma surgeries, particularly in developing nations.
