Abstract
A surgical instrument includes a sensor that provides a displacement signal over a first time interval corresponding to a cutting process. The surgical instrument includes a controller to receive the displacement signal and a memory device. The controller determines a preceding velocity-related signal from the displacement signal over a second time interval being a portion of the first time interval. The controller also determines a first acceleration-related signal over a third time interval based on the displacement signal. The third time interval occurs after the second time interval. The controller further determines a preceding velocity factored acceleration-related signal for the third time interval based on the first acceleration-related signal and the preceding velocity-related signal. The controller also determines a breakthrough time of a cutting tool through a cortical wall of a bone based on the preceding velocity factored acceleration-related signal.
