He then shapes the flap by cuttingdownward with a rapid sawing motion, and then cutsobliquely forward until all the tissues are divided. Theflap being turned up, he re-enters his knife at the samepoint and passes it on the other side of the bone or bonesand cuts the second flap in the same manner (Fig. 375). Aretractor is next applied and the bone is divided with a saw. Fig. 375.
