[Instruments to cut and make incisions (III). Bone section].
Cutting tools used on bones fulfill different actions: we distinguish between those which cut bone tissue (dissection of an exostosis, extraction of bone tumors, to remove pieces of bone in order to have access to other body parts, etc.); and those which are used on tendinous structures, cartilage, and more frequently on soft tissues.
