Orthopedic surgeons us the straight Lambotte Osteotomes, bone chisels, to shape hard and dense bones. These are typically used when repairing fractured bones or when repairing a joint, whether from injury or deformity. This chisel is crafted from standard grade stainless steel, suitable for all forms of disinfection and autoclaving. These are generally mallet-driven, and you can choose the width of the chiseled end, either 2.5 cm (1") or 1.3 cm (0.5") wide.
