Malformations of the lower limb…in children, caused by rickets. / Rickets, first defined in writing by Francis Glisson and Daniel Whistler in the mid 1600s, is generally considered a disease of the Victorian era due to its prevalence throughout Englandâs industrial revolution, although cases of the condition are recognised as early as 1st century Greece. â" Wheeler. "Eponymously remembered for his description of spontaneous, nontraumatic rotatory subluxation of the atlantoaxial joint following peripharyngeal inflammation or otorhino-laryngologic surgical procedures, or Grisel syndrome, in 1930."
