Abstract

An eponym is a person after whom an eponymous term is named. These eponymous terms are easy shorthand in communication between surgeons. Therefore, they are often used and hard to eradicate. We discuss eponymous terms that describe anatomical features and fracture types in the knee. With these terms, an overview of the historical background of the eponym and its current clinical implication is discussed. The eponymous terms discussed are Gerdy tubercle, Pellegrini–Stieda lesion, Segond fracture, Hoffa fracture and fat pad. The meaning of the eponymous term is clarified, the biography of the namegiver given and its contemporary clinical implication discussed. Since eponymous terms are used frequently in inter-collegial discussion and literature, the meaning should be clear for everyone, since otherwise it might give room for misunderstanding.
