Sir Reginald Watson-Jones
Sir Reginald Watson-Jones was one of the most important figures in the field of mid-20th century orthopaedic surgery, pioneering the practice of post-surgical rehabilitation through movement and sport whilst treating soldiers during the Second World War. He was instrumental in the founding of the British Journal of Joint and Bone Surgery, and wrote several important medical texts including 'Fractures and Joint Injuries' - a widely acclaimed manual for all military surgeons in WWII which was reprinted 15 times within his lifetime and published in many languages. He established the Department of Orthopaedics and Accidents at the London Hospital, was knighted in 1945 and was orthopaedic surgeon to the British Royal Family.
