Abstract

Jean-Martin Charcot was one of the most celebrated French physicians of the 19th century. A masterful teacher and a captivating lecturer, Charcot created the foundations of neurology as an independent discipline, and transformed the Salpêtrière hospital, in Paris, into one of the world’s greatest teaching centers for clinical neurologic research. His name is attached to the distinct pathologic entity, Charcot’s joint disease, that he so meticulously described. This article reviews the highlights of Charcot’s career and his clinicoanatomic studies of patients with tabetic arthropathies. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 92(7): 375-380, 2002)
