Various devices and methods for breaking and retaining surgical reduction tabs are provided. In general, the devices and methods can allow a single surgical instrument to break a plurality of surgical reduction tabs off one or more surgical implants and retain the broken tabs within the instrument. In an exemplary embodiment, a surgical instrument can include an opening at a distal end thereof that is configured to receive a surgical reduction tab therein when the tab is connected to a surgical implant. A retention element at least partially disposed within the instrument can be configured to engage the tab received in the opening so as to hold the tab securely within the instrument. With the tab received in the opening and held by the retention element, the surgical instrument can be configured to be manipulated to break the tab off the surgical implant. The broken tab can be retained within the surgical instrument by being held therein by the retention element. The instrument can be repeatedly relocated and repeatedly break off surgical reduction tabs of one or more surgical implants, with each successive tab received in the opening displacing the immediately preceding broken tab from the retention element such that a chamber formed in the instrument can simultaneously hold a plurality of broken tabs within the instrument.L'invention concerne divers dispositifs de rupture et de rétention de languettes de réduction chirurgicale. Un instrument chirurgical (100), qui est conçu pour recevoir une languette de réduction en son sein lorsque la languette est reliée à un implant chirurgical, comporte une ouverture (14) à son extrémité distale. Un élément de rétention (110) au moins partiellement disposé dans l'instrument peut être conçu pour solidariser la languette reçue dans l'ouverture de manière à maintenir solidement la languette dans l'instrument. Au moyen de la languette reçue dans l'ouverture et maintenue par l'élément de rétention, l'instrument chirurgical peut êt
