Calot's operation
Associated persons:
Jean-François Calot
Description:
A forcible correction of the angular curvature in Pott's disease. Introduced by Calot in 1895. In 1896 Calot presented a paper at the Paris Academy of Medicine, reporting a series of cases in which the deformity was forcibly reduced, and as a part of the procedure, in some of the cases, the spinous processes were excised.
