                                                                   Francois Chopart

His name is preserved in several anatomical and clinical terms

• Chopart's Joint (Transverse Tarsal Joint): The compound functional joint (articulatio tarsi transversa) between the hindfoot and midfoot. 
• Chopart's Amputation: A midtarsal disarticulation technique (separating the talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints while retaining the talus and calcaneus) used historically for localized foot gangrene or necrosis.
• Chopart's Fracture-Dislocation: A rare, high-energy fracture-dislocation injury occurring across the transverse tarsal joint complex
