Hi everyone,

Helbing's sign is named after the German physician Carl Ernst Helbing [1842-1914]. According to Herman Tax in his text Podopaediatrics, he first discussed what is now referred to as Helbing's sign in a paper published in 1905 entitled Ueber metatarsus varus. Unfortunately, I cannot speak or read German (and I find that the babelfish website is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard) so I cannot verify this.
Does anybody know when and where he first discussed what we all now know as Helbing's sign, and who first used the term Helbing's sign as an eponym to describe what he observed? Was it one of his students? In addition, when was it first discussed in the podiatry literature?
Any suggestions would be most helpful. I've exhausted all avenues that I can think of at the moment.
Thank you in advance.
My very best wishes,
Eric.
