Three French Pioneers in Rheumatology
نویسنده
چکیده
As an old friend and admirer of the Heberden Society, I have enjoyed many times the privilege of hearing the Heberden Oration delivered by some outstanding physician, but it came as a great surprise to be asked to deliver the Oration this year. I appreciate immensely this mark of friendship, and to-day I propose to record the work of three great French physicians who co-operated in laying the basis of modern rheumatology: Jean-Martin Charcot, Pierre Marie, and Jean Athanase Sicard. The first step necessary to progress in any field of medicine is the description of the basic clinical syndrome. Charcot helped to establish the concept of chronic articular rheumatism (which is named rheumatoid arthritis in England and polyarthrite chronique evolutive in France). Marie gave one of the first and certainly the best description of spinal arthritis (ankylosing spondylitis in England and spondylarthrite ankylosante in France). Sicard, with my father Henri Forestier and Dr. V. Putti, was the first to expound the vertebral origin of sciatica.
