A true pioneer in orthopaedics and orthopaedic surgery, Stromeyer's contributions to the field are immortalized in this stunning artwork. In 1831, he achieved a groundbreaking feat by performing the first subcutaneous tenotomy on a deformed foot, specifically targeting the Achilles tendon. This revolutionary procedure marked a turning point in tendon surgery and solidified his place as an influential figure in medical history. Stromeyer's impact extended beyond Germany; he introduced tenotomic surgery to England and is widely remembered for inventing the Stromeyer hook. This ingenious device was instrumental in treating zygomatic arch fractures, further cementing his reputation as an innovative surgeon.
