Namesake

The symptoms of a subluxation of the radial head ( Chassaignac paralysis ) and a procedure for its reduction ( Chassaignac handle ) are named after Chassaignac . An instrument used in tracheotomy and a bloodless surgical method ( écrasement linéaire ) for tissue removal also bear his name.

The anterior cusp ( tuberculum anterius ), which is particularly strong on the transverse process of the 6th cervical vertebra and against which the nearby carotid artery can be pressed, is called the carotid tubercle [Chassaignac] .
