The name of Sir Percivall Pott (1713–88), English physician, used in the possessive to designate phenomena described by him, as Pott's disease, a form of paraplegia caused by tuberculous disease of the spine (described in Med. & Philos. Commentaries (1779) VI. 318–24); Pott's fracture, a fracture of the fibula close to the ankle, of a type described by Pott (in Remarks on Fractures & Dislocations (1769) 57–64) and due to eversion of the foot; loosely, any fracture of the lower fibula.
1835Lancet 12 Sept. 775/1 Patients attacked by Pott's disease frequently die of other affections before the former has made much progress. 1897T. L. Stedman 20th Cent. Pract. XI. 600 The symptoms of Pott's disease may be divided into those referable to the diseased vertebræ, to the affected nerve roots of the spinal cord, and to the spinal cord itself. 1974C. B. T. Adams in R. M. Kirk et al. Surgery xiv. 286 Tuberculosis (Pott's disease..of the spine) or a pyogenic extrathecal abscess may also cause cord compression.
1849Proc. Path. Soc. Dublin II. 13 Mr. Robert W. Smith exhibited a remarkable specimen of Pott's fracture, taken from the body of a man, aet. 70, who had lately died in the hospital of the South Union Poor House. 1884W. Pye Surg. Handicraft xiv. 209 It may be doubted whether a true Pott's fracture is ever so perfectly recovered from, that the movements of the ankle are quite free, and no deformity is noticeable. 1922Arch.

G. Bonnin Injuries to Ankle viii. 174 It has been denied by Ashurst (1922) and others that Pott's fracture, as Pott described it, ever existed... Pott's name is used more generally now to cover all fractures of the ankle by indirect violence. 1962Surgery LI. 284/2, I believe that term to any and all fractures of the ankle due to external the term ‘Pott's fracture’ should be applied as a generic rotation violence. |
