Do you think the first saw was designed to be a surgical saw or a tool for cutting trees?
Most of us think of carpentry or forestry when we think of a saw, but the first electric version was actually a surgical saw. The
In orthopedic surgeries, particularly knee and hip replacements, the selection and design of surgical saw blade are critical factors that directly impact the success of the operation. Recently, an increase in the thickness of surgical saw blades has been observed. But what are the reasons behind this change, and how are surgical saw blades chosen? Let’s delve into these topics together.
The selection of a saw blade depends on the surgical method used, the patient’s anatomical features, and the surgeon’s preferences. The primary factors considered in this choice include:
Advantages: Thicker blades offer greater stability and durability. They minimize bending or vibration during cutting.
Over the past year, an increase in the thickness of surgical saw blades has been noted. Several key reasons explain this trend:
Modern knee and hip surgeries have become more complex, with greater precision required for implant placement. Thicker blades provide more stable cuts in such procedures.
Next-generation implant materials are harder and more durable, necessitating stronger blades for cutting.
Surgeons are leaning towards thicker blades due to their stability and reduced vibration during operations.
Thicker blades are considered safer as they reduce the risk of breaking or bending during surgeries.
The needs of each patient and surgery are unique. Blade selection should be made based on the surgeon’s expertise, the equipment used, and the patient’s specific requirements. New-generation surgical saw blades aim to combine flexibility and durability to meet surgeons’ expectations effectively.
