[François Calot, founder of the Orthopedic Institute of Berck].
François Calot (1861-1944) was an orthopaedist surgeon in Berck from 1890 to 1941. He acquired an international fame thanks to a paper read before the Academy of Medicine of Paris, on 22nd December 1896 about 37 cases of reduction of the angular curvature in Pott's disease. As he wrote many books on orthopaedic surgery he also founded the "Institut orthopédique de Berck" which is now named "Institut Calot".
