Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a surgical drill equipped with a measuring device to measure the length of a through-hole within a bone.
  • the present invention relates to a measuring unit that can be coupled to a surgical drill.
  • the present invention relates to a method of measuring a length of a hole through a bone.
  • a surgical drill equipped with a depth measuring device is described in patent application W02015006296A1.
  • This well-known surgical drill includes a telescopic rod with a sleeve that slides along the drill bit during operation and whose distal end engages the proximal surface of a bone, a brake mechanism suitable for stopping the movement of the telescopic rod relative to the drill bit, and an actuator that engages the brake mechanism in response to a control signal indicating when the drill bit penetrates the bone.
  • a sensor measures the electrical current drawn by the drilling device's motor. When the drill bit perforates the distal side of the bone, the friction force generated by the drill bit rubbing against the bone suddenly decreases, resulting in a rapid decrease in the electrical current drawn by the motor.
  • the sudden decrease in the current drawn by the motor is measured by a sensor, and a processor compares the change in the electrical current data received from the sensor with a predetermined threshold change in current or current drop level.
  • the length of the drill bit extending beyond the distal end of the sleeve is measured using a depth scale or gauge attached to the telescopic rod. Alternatively, the length of the drill bit extending beyond the distal end of the sleeve is measured with a digital gauge.
  • a drawback of this well-known surgical drill is that it includes two different measuring devices, the first one to detect when the drill bit comes out of a bone by measuring the electrical current drawn by the motor and the second to determine the drill depth, which involves a complex electrical and mechanical measuring system.
  • This well-known surgical drill includes a measuring device configured as a linear variable differential displacement transducer (LVDT) connected to the housing, wherein the measuring device is configured to measure the distance covered by the housing in the direction of the longitudinal axis and relative to a bone surface during a drilling process.
  • the measuring device comprises a processing unit including one or more differentiators to determine the first and second time derivatives of the distance travelled with respect to time.
  • the measuring device includes an additional sensor to measure the force applied to the drill bit and the use of a third signal indicating the instant in time when the drill bit comes out of the bone cortex, where the third signal is emitted when the second time derivative (acceleration) of the first signal (displacement) is greater than zero and the first time derivative of the second signal (force applied to the drill bit) is less than zero.
  • a disadvantage of this well-known surgical drill is that, due to the rod connecting the movable drill bit to the sensor of the measuring device, the measuring device has an unhandy configuration that results in cumbersome handling for the surgeon. In addition, the rod obstructs the surgeon's view of the surgical site.
  • Patent application US20231 13352A1 and patent application US2021307764A1 describe a surgical drill equipped with a measuring device to measure the length of a through-hole within a bone, wherein the measuring device is oriented towards the end of the drill bit and is configured to measure without contact a parallel distance between the measuring device and a reference surface arranged around the drill bit.
  • Patent application US20231 13352A1 provides a peak detector that identifies an acceleration peak and/or a jerk peak when the drill bit comes out of the cortex of a bone; the position of the drill bit when it comes out of the cortex is calculated based on the acceleration and/or jerk peaks.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a surgical drill equipped with a measuring device for measuring the length of a through-hole within a bone, and a measuring unit that can be coupled to a surgical drill, which allow the length of the hole to be measured quickly and accurately and, at the same time, are easy and inexpensive to manufacture.

  • Calibration is the first step and requires the operator (the surgeon) to position the drill bit 6 on the external surface of the bone 8, orienting it at the desired angle for drilling; by pressing a calibration button, the processing device 14 performs two initial operations: it detects (by using the 3-axis accelerometer 17) and memorizes the angle of inclination of the axis 5 of rotation with respect to the vertical and records the distance Di from the work surface via the measuring device 12. After a short calibration countdown, the system is ready to begin the procedure of drilling of the bone 8.

From now on, the processing device 14 performs, for example, 20 measurements per second (one every 50 milliseconds), constantly monitoring both the instantaneous distance D via the measuring device 12 and the advancement speed V (calculated as the first derivative of the distance D in time).
  • the crucial point is the detection of the crossing of the external cortical part 9 and this is done by monitoring the advancement speed V: when a change in the advancement speed V that exceeds the threshold value THS is detected, it is assumed that an external cortical part 9 has been perforated, and the distance D2 or D4 is recorded, as measured with an advance equal to the time advance AT before the threshold value THS is exceeded.
  • This approach allows the points of entry into and exit from the external cortical part 9 to be identified accurately.
  • the processing device 14 also maintains constant control of the angle of inclination of the axis 5 of rotation with respect to the vertical (which must remain as constant as possible and therefore equal to the initial angle of inclination of the axis 5 of rotation with respect to the vertical detected prior to the drilling of the bone 8); if the surgical drill 1 changes its inclination significantly during the drilling of the bone 8, the screen 18 shows directional arrows that guide the operator (the surgeon) towards the correct alignment.
  • the whole measurement process is based on the analysis of the advancement speed V of the drill bit 6, and the accelerations measured by the 3-axis accelerometer 17 are mainly used to detect the start of the drilling (i.e., to determine the instant T1 of start of drilling of the bone 8) through characteristic vibrations, whereas the passage through the external cortical part 9 is identified when the advancement speed V exceeds the threshold value THS.
  • the 3-axis accelerometer 17 still maintains an important role as a secondary verification system: its data are used as a double check to confirm the actual crossing of the external cortical part 9, and this combined approach allows the reliability of the system to be increased and the false positives to be significantly reduced when detecting the actual crossing of the external cortical part 9.
  • the processing device 14 does not use the advancement speed V of the drill bit 6 but uses instead the acceleration A of the support body 2 along the axis 5 of rotation measured by the 3-axis accelerometer 17; in this embodiment and with reference to what is shown in Figure 10, the processing device 14 is configured to: determine the instant T2 of first drilling of the external cortical part 9 when the acceleration A along the axis 5 of rotation as measured by the accelerometer 17 is positive and exceeds, in absolute value, a threshold value THA1 after the instant T 1 of start of drilling of the bone 8; determine the intermediate instant T3 when the acceleration along the axis 5 of rotation as measured by the accelerometer 17 is negative and exceeds, in absolute value, a threshold value THA2 after the instant T2 of first drilling of the external cortical part 9; and determine the instant T4 of second drilling of the external cortical part 9 when the acceleration along the axis 5 of rotation as measured by the accelerometer 17 is positive and exceeds, in absolute value, a third threshold value THA3.
