Using an Instrumented Hammer to Predict the Rupture of Bone Samples Subject to an Osteotomy

Osteotomies are common procedures in maxillofacial and orthopedic surgery. The surgeons still rely on their proprioception to control the progression of the osteotome.

description Osteotomies are common procedures in maxillofacial and orthopedic surgery. The surgeons still rely on their proprioception to control the progression of the osteotome. Our group has developed an instrumented hammer that was shown to provide information on the biomechanical properties of the tissue located around the osteotome tip. The objective of this study is to determine if this approach may be used to predict the rupture of a bone sample thanks to an instrumented hammer equipped with a force sensor. For each impact, an indicator <i>τ</i> is extracted from the signal corresponding to the variation of the force as a function of time. A linear by part regression analysis is applied to the curve corresponding to the variation of <i>τ</i> as a function of the distance <i>d</i> between the tip of the osteotome and the end of the sample. The experiments were conducted with plywood and bovine trabecular bone samples. The results show that <i>τ</i> starts increasing when the value of <i>d</i> is lower than 2.6 mm on average, which therefore corresponds to a typical threshold detection distance between the osteotome tip and the sample end. These findings open new paths for the development of this instrumented surgical hammer.
