Abstract
Drilled hole quality is a significant parameter for successful orthopedic surgery. The present investigation is an effort to reduce the delamination produced drilling with state-of-the-art hybrid drilling i.e. ultrasonically-assisted drilling. A comparative analysis has carried out as per experimental design to assess the ultrasonic drilling with conventional drilling. The novelty of the work is the use of coordinate measuring machine (CMM) for characterization of the delamination during bone drilling. The results revealed that ultrasonically-assisted drilling caused lesser delamination than conventional drilling. The maximum percentage delamination during conventional drilling was found to be 9.153% and 8.541% during ultrasonically-assisted drilling.
