title: An instrument for harvesting the outer table of the skull.
abstract: An angled oscillating saw devised for in situ harvesting of the outer table of the skull is presented. With its tip toward the outer table, this saw runs less risk of injuring the inner table and entering the cranial cavity. We have experienced no complication due to the harvesting of the outer table using this instrument.
