Abstract

An orthopedic cutting instrument can be used to cut and release soft tissue to mobilize a bone for subsequent realignment of the bone. In some examples, the cutting instrument is configured with a handle and a cutting head. The cutting head has multiple cutting surfaces, such as a lead cutting surface and side cutting surfaces extending angularly away from the lead cutting surface. A mirror set of cutting surfaces may be provided on the opposite side of the cutting head. The cutting surfaces may be arranged to allow controlling cutting of soft tissue while limiting inadvertent deep penetration of the cutting instrument. In addition, the cutting surfaces may be arranged to allow back-and-forth cutting movement of the cutting head, which can be useful when working in a tight joint space.
