Any tricks to avoid drill bit breakage at neck level???

• 

  Vijay Tubaki In this case,I had limited number of nail in my store.. I would have preferred longer nail..

  Vijayanand Addanki Is it a guide wire or drill bit ? Cos I've seen guide wires being cut so better not to send them beyond head...drill bits cannulated usually don't break...

  Sanjay Joseph Tough case. Good fixation. With PFN the proximal drill bits tend to get blunt rather quickly so it's always better to replace them every two or three operations.

  Viru Somashekaraiah follow the direction of the guide wire while drilling. even a slight change in direction of drillbit/reamer can damage the thin guide wire. btwn excellent job for this tough case.

  Sachit Malhan Believe me or no but local 100rs drills are far better than 2k drills. Never saw a single breakage for last 5 years and prev when we using imported ao drill 4 or 5 incidents were there. And another benefit you can change the drill bit after 2 or 3 surgeries and won't affect pockets at all.

  Sachit Malhan It is okay but question specifically asks for broken drill bit scenario prevention not guide wire. Regards Dr Sachit.

  Bipin Solanki Drillbits breaks when there is track mismatch in guide wire and cannulated Drillbits, then actually Drillbit cuts the guide wire. This happens when we use low quality very flexible threaded guidewires which doesn't go straight in bone but rigid Drillbit go straight so they cut it on there way.. Moreover threaded wires r very weak.. I use k wires in place..

  Sachit Malhan I agree with Dr Bipin Solanki but not with the fact low quality guide wires. If you do drilling on mismatch tracks guide writes break. These wires have to be inserted by cannulated drill s ,if done by normal battery non cannulated drill track miss match will result. I have seen people doing that too.

  Javed Shaikh 1 option- i always drill without guide wire (so never encountered guide wire breakage !)
  2nd (v helpful)- wen u get little resistance or getting stuck, do 4wd backward, dnt drill 4wd only.
  Belive me it works

  Gopal Goel There is only one tric-- dont cause any angulation while drilling

  Vijay Tubaki It was pure close reduction and internal fixation.i did not open at any site...ya,I had tough time in manupulating guide wire..but we were successfull!!!

  Akhilesh Vanam Poor at metallurgy.....but do not push hard if any resistance and avoid drilling for long at one go

  Sunil Gupta dr Vijay Tubaki how did u obtain closed reduction in such a difficult case?

  Vijay Tubaki Hi,Sunil Gupta,,first I made sure that my entry point was perfect in both AP and lateral.I slightly bent my guide wire tip before I passed inside the medullary canal..So that each stage, I can rotate around to push into next medullary canal...then I passed guide wire reducing each fracture one by one..each stage I did not bother about distal fracture fragments..

  Sunil Gupta Dr Vijay Tubaki Any option for unreamed nail in this case.also in unreamed nail is reaming not done at all?

  Vijay Tubaki May be unreamed nail is also option..but it is easier to pass nail in reamed canal than unreamed..in unreamed,we may have to really struggle intraop!!
