Abstract

In orthopaedic surgery, as well as other areas in medicine, it is common for a surgical technique to carry the original authors’ name describing the procedure. The Judet family represents a unique history, since several orthopaedic procedures are known as “Judet’s technique”. The aim of this historic review is to outline the genealogy of the orthopaedic arm of the Judet family, while crediting each surgical procedure to the specific family member that described the technique.
