Aims

During the COVID-19 pandemic, drilling has been classified as an aerosol-generating procedure. However, there is limited evidence on the effects of bone drilling on splatter generation. Our aim was to quantify the effect of drilling on splatter generation within the orthopaedic operative setting.

Methods

This study was performed using a Stryker System 7 dual rotating drill at full speed. Two fluid mediums (Videne (Solution 1) and Fluorescein (Solution 2)) were used to simulate drill splatter conditions. Drilling occurred at saw bone level (0 cm) and at different heights (20 cm, 50 cm, and 100 cm) above the target to simulate the surgeon ‘working arm length’, with and without using a drill guide. The furthest droplets were marked and the droplet displacement was measured in cm. A surgical microscope was used to detect microscopic droplets.

We examined 524 patients with whiplash injuries for delayed onset of shoulder pain in order to establish whether this was due to impingement syndrome. A total of 476 patients (91%) responded to a questionnaire of which 102 (22%) were entered into the study; 43 had both a positive impingement sign and Neer test. The incidence of impingement-type pain was 9%. After treatment 23 patients (5%) had a significant improvement in their symptoms, ten (2%) had a moderate improvement and nine had no improvement. Impingement-type pain can occur after whiplash injuries and can be successfully treated.

We performed postoperative venography on 84 consecutive patients who had undergone upper tibial osteotomy for medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee. Deep-vein thrombosis was demonstrated in 41%. Only 15% of the cases were diagnosed clinically, all in the calf veins. Cases of proximal thromboses (3) and mixed-vein thromboses (12) were only revealed by venography.
