Abstrakt: Eponyms are widely used in the field of orthopedic surgery, including for surgical instruments. Although their use is at times controversial, an appreciation of the history behind eponymous terms allows one to both recognize the shortcomings of the past and simultaneously be inspired by ingenious inventors. The primary purpose of this review is to provide a historical perspective of clamps and forceps commonly used in orthopedic surgery, to better appreciate the evolution of their use over time, and to inspire innovation to constantly improve upon surgical instrumentation as the field of orthopedic surgery advances.
