In this short documentary, we delve into the life and legacy of Abraham Colles (1773–1843), a pioneering Irish surgeon and anatomist whose contributions have profoundly influenced modern medicine. Born in Kilkenny, Colles’s journey from a young student at Kilkenny College to a distinguished professor at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) is a testament to his dedication and innovation. Our film explores his groundbreaking work, including the identification of the distal radial fracture now known as ‘Colles’ fracture’ and his advancements in surgical anatomy. Through expert interviews and historical insights, we bring to life the story of a man whose impact on medical science continues to resonate today.
