Primary uses
What this instrument is on the table to do.
Cuts and shapes bone with mallet blows. It is often used to take a bone graft.
Sizes & variants
The lengths, angles and patterns it comes in.
Made in many widths, straight or curved, usually as a graduated set in a rack. Lambotte-pattern osteotomes about 7 in (18 cm) run from 4 mm to 25 mm wide. Long-bevel osteotomes (10, 20 and 25 mm straight; 5 and 10 mm curved) have an extra-long bevel so the bone bends gradually as it is cut.
