His wife Edda, née Stempel , worked on this book and contributed numerous anatomical specimens. Two years earlier, Stoffel and Edda Stempel had published the anatomical studies on the club hand . In 1911, Stoffel introduced the technique of selective neurotomy of motor tibial fibers , which is now known as the Stoffel operation in his honor . The method is currently only rarely used.
