Yes, as SS stated, the gigli would be great for bone. If necessary it could be used to cut entire leg (skin and all, not that I’d say do it) in an emergency, but would definitely leave the surgeon to trim up tissue later. I have done this to several types of large animal, (calves & foals), during troubled still-born/dead deliveries (my dad was an older veterinarian so I helped a lot/did most of the manual labor) so lighter human bones would be even easier.
