	$Charles Marie Édouard Chassaignac commenced his medical studies in his native town of Nantes, continued in Paris and was promoted doctor in that town on 1835 with a dissertation on fractures of the neck of the femur. Two years later he became professor agrégé at the faculty as well as prosector. He then held various positions, among them surgeon to the Bureaus Central des Hôpitaux, and vice president of the Société anatomique. At this time, with Gustave Antoine Richelot (1807-1893), he published a translation of Astley Cooper’s (1768-1841) The principles and practice of surgery, as Oeuvres chirurgicales complètes (1835, 1837). He is remembered for first describing: Chassaignac's hook, Chassaignac's operation, Chassaignac's paralysis, Chassaignac's space and Chassaignac's tubercle.$ Charles Chassaignac	Chassaignac's Tuberacle	Chassaignac's Ecraseur	Antoine Alphonse Chassepot	Chassepot Rifle
