Chisel In Surgery

The chisel in surgery is one of the most important tools used in bone operations. This is a tool with a flat or grooved cutting part that is used to cut bone tissue.

The working part of the chisel has a one-sided sharpening, which allows the tool to easily penetrate the bone. The cutting edge of the chisel is located at a right angle to its longitudinal axis, which ensures high cutting accuracy and uniform distribution of pressure on the tissue.

The chisel can be used for various purposes, for example, to create holes in the bone before installing implants, to remove bone fragments from fractures, and also to widen holes in the bones before installing endoprostheses.

One of the advantages of using a chisel in surgery is its versatility. It can be used in various fields such as orthopedics, dentistry, neurosurgery and others. In addition, the chisel is one of the most affordable tools for performing bone operations, which makes it popular among surgeons.

In conclusion, the chisel is an indispensable tool for bone surgeons. Its use allows operations to be performed with high precision and efficiency, which contributes to the rapid recovery of patients.

**What is a chisel?**

This is a cutting surgical instrument used to remove sharp musculoskeletal tissue before intervening on the skull, spine, pelvis or hip bones.

In surgery, a chisel is a type of surgical blade used to gain access to bone tissue when an operation needs to be performed. The chisel is also used to break, widen or form holes in the bone and helps prevent the formation of crumbling or defective chips for the best operating technique.

**What does a chisel consist of**

Each chisel consists of a wooden handle, which may be made of flexible wood with a handle made of brass, copper, lead or any other metals, and a blade (usually made of an alloy of cobalt and vanadium). Each part of the chisel is machined from solid metal for strength and durability.

Blades can be straight (having a single blade edge), although many chisel designs consist of different blade shapes and sizes with multiple edges to improve the overall angle of the chisel to cut bone more efficiently and most safely. The blade can have more than one blade, which allows for more efficient cutting and reduces damage to the tissue around the bone.

Wooden handles often come in a variety of shapes to provide a comfortable grip and use. In addition, the blades are usually equipped with a locking screw to adjust the accuracy, speed
