Gustav Drehann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gustav Drehann (born September 21, 1869 , † June 24, 1932 in Breslau ) was a German orthopedist and university professor in Breslau.

Life

Drehann studied medicine at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg , where he joined the Makaria Landsmannschaft in 1888 . He proved himself three times as a consenior , once as a senior and twice as a fox major . He was unconditionally committed to his corps all his life. Even as a drum doctor , he knew no compromises when assessing the scale length . "Anyone who had to take a beating because he was a little comfortable on the fencing floor could stand until he was in the bar." His brother Gotthold was no exception.

In 1897 he became an assistant to Johann von Mikulicz in Breslau. Soon he was able to open a flourishing private clinic. He was particularly interested in congenital deformities and hip dislocation caused by dysplasia. The Drehann symbol is still in orthopedic usage today : In child epiphysiolysis of the femoral head, the affected leg turns outward when the hip is flexed.

At the beginning of the First World War he was in charge of military hospitals in East Prussia and Poland , and later the hospital for seriously injured persons in the Wroclaw building trade school . For the VI. Army Corps he was a medical adviser. After the war the Lower Silesian provincial administration appointed him to the state cripple doctor of the province of Lower Silesia . In the Lower Silesian Provincial Association for the Control of Tuberculosis, he worked as a board member.
