This is a question regarding an eponym in anatomy: The Angle of Louis.
I found on whonamedit.com that the Angle of Louis was named after a
French surgeon called Antoine Louis. He was Maître de chirurgie and
later appointed Professor of Physiology at the Royal College of
Surgeons in Paris. Interestingly, he is also linked to the design of
the famous Guillotine. The website provides several biliography, one
of which I am certain contains the information on when exactly he
named the anatomical landmark after himself. I am interested in the
anatomically related aspect of his life rather than his more famous
link to the Guillotine. I would like to see the article/book/paper in
which he names the anatomical landmark after himself.

A French speaking researcher may be of help as I mentioned that the
bibiography on whonamedit.com are all in French. I suspect Antoine
Louis would have named the Angle of Louis in a French Journal.
