Doyen's Operation

Doyen operation - (e.l. doyen).

The name comes from the surname of Doyer, a surgeon who proposed the technique, after which his name received a double emphasis. He described a surgical method for repositioning a dislocated shoulder, and also described the state of xeronegrosis after primary treatment of the articular end of the radius in the treatment of fractures of the forearm bones. Doyen proposed an operation, which was later called "Operation for the article" or "doyen's operation." Later, due to the coincidence of the name, the mistake was often made that this was his author’s operation, while others already made their own knife based on his anatomy and technique, adding their name to the operation.

The surgical technique was described by the Australian surgeon P. Rooney in 1921, who called his work “Rooney’s method” or “operation for an article,” although Rooney himself was not its author. The name “Rooney” was invented by the English professor H. Bagley in order to lead opponents onto the wrong trail, he also advised Rooney to publish an article in the journal where the work was published
