Orthopedic surgical chisels designed to create a cavity or slot (usually rectangular) into which prostheses are fitted. These chisels are typically a sturdy handheld, manual instrument including a straight or slightly curved flat blade with a cutting edge that is beveled on one or, more frequently, two sides and a handle. Mortising bone chisels are used in orthopedic procedures intended to attach a prosthesis to a bone.
