A bone rongeur is a surgical instrument used to cut, trim, or reshape bone and hard tissues. It has sharp-edged, scoop-shaped tips that allow precise removal of bone or other dense tissues, making it essential in many orthopaedic, dental, and neurosurgical procedures. The term “rongeur” comes from the French word meaning “to gnaw,” reflecting the instrument’s nibbling action.
