Le terme anglais "chisel" désigne tant un burin qu'un ciseau. Les deux instruments peuvent être utilisés seuls ou percutés à l'aide d'un marteau. Il existe cependant en français une nuance entre le burin et le ciseau. Le terme « burin » est employé en chirurgie pour désigner un instrument à extrémité biseautée tranchante destinée à entailler le périoste ou l'os. Quant au terme «ciseau», il désigne un instrument plat, également taillé en biseau, utilisé en chirurgie osseuse pour prélever, tailler ou trancher un greffon ou un fragment osseux. 5, record 1, French, - ciseau%20%C3%A0%20os
