For biocompatibility evaluation, orthopaedic and dental biomaterials are often implanted into bone after drilling. Bone repair in the drilled hole may be affected by bone damage attributed to drilling, thus influencing the bone response to biomaterials. The drilling parameters (the speed of rotation

โฆ Synopsis
Seventy-seven patients with mild to moderate gonarthrosis of the knee were treated by subchondral bone drilling, and followed for from 2 to 7 years. Patients with generalised arthrosis benefited more than those with unicompartmental involvement. Pain, assessed by a visual analogue scale, was significantly reduced compared with a control group of 16 patients who had a diagnostic arthroscopy only. Drilling is a safe procedure with few complications and can be used in patients when more extensive surgery is not yet indicated or possible.

For orthopaedic biomaterial implantation testing, specimens are often implanted into cortical bone defects. The implantation site is assumed to be one of the factors that influence the bone response to biomaterials. The aim of this study was to investigate the bone-healing process in drilled cortica
For biocompatibility testing, cylindrical specimens are often inserted into drilled cortical defects. However, little attention has been paid to the drilling conditions. Our previous experience revealed that bone formation in drilled cortial defects was delayed by 5000 r.p.m. drilling due to thermal
