Lorenz Böhler

Lorenz Böhler (15 January 1885 in Wolfurt, Austria – 20 January 1973 in Vienna) was an Austrian physician and surgeon.

Böhler is most notable as one of the creators of modern accident surgery. He was the head of the AUVA-Hospital in Vienna, Brigittenau, that was later named after him: Lorenz-Böhler-Unfallkrankenhaus. This hospital was an international model during his time as the leading surgeon there.

In radiology, the measurement of ''Böhler's angle'' on a foot X-ray can help detect fractures of the calcaneus. Provided by Wikipedia
