Lorenz Böhler (1885–1973) was an Austrian physician and famous surgeon. He is most notable as the creator of modern accident surgery. He was the head of the AUVA-Hospital in Vienna, Brigittenau, that was later named after him: Lorenz-Böhler-Unfallkrankenhaus. This hospital was an international model during his time as the leading surgeon there. In radiology, the measurement of Böhler's angle on a foot x-ray can help detect fractures of the calcaneus.
