Usability and acceptability of a power tool with electronic depth gauge for orthopedic drilling – a preclinical randomized controlled trial in sawbones
The electronic depth gauge was time-efficient and surgeons rated it as highly usable. However, screw exchanges were not significantly minimized in this study, which might be mitigated by proper training and awareness of device-specific recommendations. The effect of electronic depth gauges on screw exchange rates and its clinical applicability warrents further research.
