Raoul Hoffmann in 1922 Photograph courtesy of Dr. Anne-Christine Hoffmann and the Hoffmann Family, Geneva, Switzerland Hoffmann is external fixation. This book is in tribute to Dr. Hoffmann, a private practitioner of surgery who worked in Geneva, Switzerland, and in his mature years developed the technique, improved the equipment and established the indications for external skeletal fixation. Hoffmann actualized fixateurs. Born in Berlin the son of a Lutheran minister, Hoffmann was brought up in French Geneva and trained first as a theologian and then as a physician. He met his wife Elsa in Sweden and served as a Christian missionary in Kashmir. He raised his family in Tramelan, a small watchmaking town in Swiss Jura. Hoffmann was a doctor, minister, family man and outdoorsman. He reestablished his practice in Geneva where he not only made external fixation work but also promoted abstinence from drink. Hoffmann lived from 1881–1972, a great man of the last century. Schwechter EM, Swan KG. Raoul Hoffmann and his external fixateur. JBJS. 2007;89:672–8.
