Component parts of the osteotome, and the instrument in use

An osteotome is an instrument used for cutting or preparing bone.[1] Osteotomes are similar to a chisel but bevelled on both sides.[2] They are used today in plastic surgery, orthopedic surgery and dental implantation.[3]

The chain osteotome, originally referred to simply as the osteotome, was invented by the German physician Bernhard Heine in 1830.[4][5] This device is essentially a small chainsaw.[6][7]
