Short summary
In this study, the drilling process was performed with Kirschner wire (K-wire) for stabilization after reduction of Salter–Harris type-3 epiphyseal fractures of distal femur. The numerical analyses were performed with finite element method. An analytic model and software were developed to identify the temperature distributions occurring in the K-wire and sawbones material during drilling process. A good consistency was obtained between experimental results and finite element analysis results.
