Cannulated drills have a hollow design, and the internal space can accommodate guide wires or other auxiliary tools, allowing medical professionals to accurately navigate and operate in the bone structure. In orthopedic surgery, the main functions of cannluated drills include:
1. Accurate guidance and positioning: Cannulated drills can more easily determine and guide the surgical location through the hollow structure in the center of the bone. Medical professionals can use the hollow design to accurately position implants or other tools at the required location, thereby improving the accuracy and success rate of the operation.
2. Reduce bone tissue damage: Compared with traditional solid drill bits, Cannulated drills can reduce damage to surrounding tissues when penetrating bones. Its sophisticated design and lightweight material can reduce harm and discomfort to patients during surgery, while speeding up recovery.
3. Support the implant placement process: During implant placement surgery, Cannulated drills can provide appropriate hole positions and guidance for implants, ensuring that the implants are stable and firm in the bone. This is essential for joint replacement surgery, fracture repair, and other orthopedic surgeries.
Cannulated drills play an integral role in orthopedic surgery. Their unique design and functionality provide medical professionals with more operating options and higher surgical success rates. However, to ensure safety and effectiveness, the use of cannulated drills still requires medical professionals to have expertise and experience to avoid potential risks and complications.
