À hauteur d'homme (1981)

Directed by Jean-Marie Piquint
Genres Historical
Themes Histoire de France, Napoleonic Wars films
Actors Jacques Lippe, Francis Houtteman, Michel Carnoy, André Mairesse, Jean Musin

À hauteur d'homme est inspiré de la vie du docteur Louis Seutin, médecin et chirurgien belge du XIX siècle qui s'initia à son art au milieu des combats des guerres du Premier Empire français. Rentré en Belgique, il se consacra au progrès de la médecine, notamment dans la réorganisation des hôpitaux et dans les domaines de la lutte contre la fièvre puerpérale, du développement de la chirurgie osseuse et de la guérison des fractures. Sa méthode amovo-inamovible de réduction des fractures échappe aux défauts des méthodes qui l'ont précédée en conjuguant les avantages des méthodes légères et des méthodes lourdes sans leurs inconvénients.
