Details David Hirschowitz was born in Johannesburg in 1943 and spent his early years in South Africa and Zimbabwe. He studied medicine at Cape Town University, commencing in 1961 and, having been based at Groote Schuur Hospital, by a happy coincidence he graduated on the same day in 1967 that Christiaan Barnard performed the world’s first heart transplant in the hospital. After finishing his house jobs, he decided to move to the UK in 1968 as he found working with the apartheid system extremely distasteful. After initially training as a general surgeon, he began to specialise in orthopaedics and carried out a number of postings over a four year period in hospitals in Bethnal Green, North Middlesex, Hackney, Hampstead, Ascot and Slough. Having been given a surgical research fellowship, he spent a year from 1975 to 1976 in California at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA). At UCLA Professor Harlan C. Amstutz was working on a pioneering total hip resurfacing procedure which was first carried out in 1976. David was closely involved with the application of this new technique and also Amstutz’s new, cemented total hip replacement. He was appointed a consultant orthopaedic surgeon to the hospitals in St Albans and Hemel Hempstead on his return to the UK in 1977. He stayed in that area for the rest of his career and developed a reputation as a skilled surgeon, always happy to try out new techniques and popular with patients and his juniors. Outside medicine he enjoyed photography, cooking, horticulture and scuba diving. Enthusiastically adopting new technologies, he became adept at computer programming and wrote some specialist software for running medical practices which became very popular. His wife, Lynette, had met him in South Africa and, as his girlfriend, accompanied him to the UK where they married in 1969. He developed prostate cancer in 2009 and, with the help of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, survived until 2018 when lymphoma was diagnosed. He died on 11 February 2019, survived by his wife, sons Anton and Ivan and grandchildren, Isobel, Emily, Filip and Jacob.

Details Ian Maurice Pinder (known to his colleagues as IMP) was a consultant orthopaedic surgeon in Newcastle upon Tyne. He studied medicine at Sheffield University and qualified MB, ChB in 1961. In 1966 he passed the fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and worked at the Newcastle Royal Infirmary. He commenced his consultant career at the Hexham General Hospital before moving to the Freeman Hospital. During his time there it was said that his insatiable work ethic led him to take on the surgical treatment of large numbers of patients who suffered from severe deformities due to rheumatoid diseases. In many cases this restored their mobility and independence for life. Inevitably this led to collaboration with the rheumatology department and he was instrumental in the foundation of a combined musculoskeletal service at the hospital. For many years after he retired from the health service he kept up his elective practice, continuing to develop his internationally acknowledged expertise in hip and knee arthroscopy. Over time he contributed several important pioneering articles on knee surgery to the medical literature and became a constant source of advice and reassurance to his junior colleagues. Possessed of a keen sense of humour, he was said to be always ready to indulge in a spot of gossip or political intrigue. He died at the Freeman Hospital on 24 February 2018 aged 85 and was survived by his wife Susan, son Jonathan, daughter-in-law Karen and grandchildren Frederik, Eliya and Charlie.

Occupation Orthopaedic surgeon
Details Michael Alms was an orthopaedic surgeon in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. He was born Tadashi Kubo in Kyoto, Japan on 29 January 1922. His mother, Naka Kubo (‘Kimi’), was from a samurai family; his father, George Frederick Hill Alms, was a member of the Royal Engineers who went on to become a brigadier. Kimi’s relations felt she had brought shame to her family by marrying an Englishman and rejected the young couple. George returned to the UK and in 1924 Kimi and Tadashi joined him. On arriving in Taunton, Tadashi was renamed Michael Alms. He was educated at Bembridge School on the Isle of Wight and went on to study medicine at Bristol University, qualifying with the gold medal in 1945. He trained at the United Bristol Hospitals and spent three years (from 1951 to 1954) as an orthopaedic surgeon in Mauritius. He went on to Liverpool University, gaining an MCh in orthopaedics in 1955 and became a senior registrar in orthopaedic surgery at Bristol. As his nephew wrote in his obituary in *The Guardian*: ‘Despite his ample qualifications, he was told that because of his racial origins, he would never be appointed as a consultant surgeon.’ As a consequence, in 1960 Alms decided to emigrate to Canada. He was an orthopaedic surgeon at University and St Paul’s hospitals in Saskatoon and later went into private practice. He invented a surgical retractor used to keep open insertions and wounds, known as an Alms retractor, still widely used. After retiring from private practice, Alms volunteered for Care International, in the Dominican Republic and later Peru. He finally retired in 2000 and settled in Vancouver. Outside medicine, he was a keen sailor, golfer, photographer and potter. After the death of his mother in 1990, Alms traced some of his family in Japan and returned several times to visit. In 1946 he married Beryl Norris (known as ‘Goo’), a nurse. Predeceased by Goo and their daughter Charlotte, Alms died on 22 January 2022, a week before his 100th birthday. He was survived by their remaining children, Harriet, Richard and Georgie, five grandchildren and a great grandchild.

Occupation Orthopaedic surgeon Trauma surgeon
Details Iain Stewart Duff was a consultant orthopaedic and trauma surgeon at the West Middlesex Hospital, Isleworth. Iain was of Scottish descent. His parents were devout, strict Christians. He was educated at King's College School, Wimbledon and became captain and fullback for the first XV rugby team. He entered Westminster Hospital as an undergraduate and, following his house posts, decided on a surgical career. After a period of general surgical training, he elected to train in orthopaedics. He held registrar posts at St George's Hospital and linked training hospitals in south west London, and a senior registrar post at King's College Hospital. Iain was a very practical and skilled surgeon and, although not particularly academically inclined, he was well-liked by his colleagues and trainees. A general orthopaedic and trauma surgeon, his main interests were in hip and knee arthroplasty and sports injuries. With his continuing interest in rugby, it was not surprising that he became the medical officer of the England Rugby Union at nearby Twickenham, which he also served with distinction. He also held sessions at the Teddington Memorial and Royal Masonic hospitals. He was a fellow of the British Orthopaedic Association and the Royal Society of Medicine. He was a leading light of the local Kingston Medical Club. He enjoyed golf and skiing particularly, and I enjoyed his company on the slopes on many occasions. He also enjoyed travelling. My wife and I joined him and his sister Jean on trips to South Africa, New Zealand and Canada. Iain was a delightful companion at social occasions, with a great sense of humour. He had many girlfriends but never married. He remained active after retirement for several years, but suffered heart and spinal problems later, which he endured bravely. His death on 26 October 2016 was quite unexpected and sudden. He was 79. He was survived by his sister Jean, who was a Westminster nurse, and many close friends.

Occupation Orthopaedic surgeon Trauma surgeon
Details Chris Good was a consultant orthopaedic and trauma surgeon at Newham General, Queen Mary's and Blackheath hospitals in London. He was born in Barnstaple, Devon, in 1946. His father was clerk of works for South Molton. When Chris was eight the family moved to Northern Rhodesia; his father became clerk of works to Zambia, after the country gained independence. In 1962 Chris went to England to study for A levels and gained entry to the London Hospital Medical College in 1964. He qualified MB BS and MRCS LRCP in 1969. He held house posts at the London Hospital and was then a senior registrar at St George's. In 1983 he was appointed to his consultant post at Newham, and three years later joined the staff of Queen Mary's Hospital. Chris's attitudes to life were very much formed by his time in Africa. He was keen to pass on his considerable knowledge to those who showed any enthusiasm. This has been reinforced by letters to his widow from previous trainees. He was an excellent contributor at the weekly multidisciplinary team meetings, always aided by a prodigious memory. Perhaps his most unacknowledged contribution to medicine was his willingness to let his anaesthetist Archie Brain 'experiment' on his patients on the operating list. This led to the laryngeal mask, which is in universal use today in every operating theatre in the land. In his life outside medicine his memory was a major asset in his love of music, plants (he was gardening at sunrise most days) and food; he could recall menus, wines and their vintages and was always eager to discuss them. He passed on his love of music (as a listener and performer) to his boys; he loved cricket, but the boys were divided between that and rugby. He was an astute investor in musical instruments and modern art. In 1969 he married Dorothy Harris, a fellow student within the University of London, who became a history teacher. Chris Good died in 2014. She survived him, together with their two sons and two grandchildren.

Occupation Orthopaedic surgeon
Details Bernard Bloch, a Sydney-based surgeon, was a pioneer in the development of international standards for surgical implants. He was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa, on 7 November 1922, the son of Israel Bloch, a businessman, and Greta Grueschlovsky, who fled Lithuania to start a new life in the Orange Free State. Bernard was educated at St Andrew's School in Bloemfontein and studied medicine at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, graduating in 1945. He had an older brother, Arthur, who was killed in the North Africa campaign during the Second World War, and a younger sister, Irma. Bernard also served in the South African Army during the war. Following his demobilisation, he went to London, where he was a resident medical officer at the Royal Cancer Hospital in 1946, then dominion registrar at Guy's Hospital from 1946 to 1947. In May 1948, Bernard married June Sugden, a British nurse. They both volunteered for service during Israel's War of Independence, before travelling back to Johannesburg, where Bernard was a casualty/fracture surgeon and a lecturer in anatomy. In 1949, they moved back to London and Bernard spent four years in various registrar positions, gaining his FRCS in 1952. In 1953, the Blochs moved to Sydney, Australia, where Bernard was appointed to Balmain and Sydney hospitals. He enjoyed a thriving practice for the next 20 years. In 1973 he left Australia, working first as a research fellow in experimental orthopaedic surgery in Davos, Switzerland, and then as a guest professor at the University of Louvain, Belgium. From 1976 to 1977, he was a locum consultant in the UK and in Holland. In 1978 the Blochs returned to Sydney, Bernard to consultant practice and Sydney Hospital. In 1989 they moved to Israel and subsequent retirement. As a research fellow at the University of New South Wales, Bernard carried out original work on biomaterials and epoxy glues. Working groups were established in metallurgy, with Lou Keys, and mechanical engineering, with Noel Svensson. Bernard developed techniques for the bonding of long fractures by plastic adhesives and investigated the use of metal implants and alloys. He also analysed hip and knee replacements in 22 Sydney hospitals, from 1969 to 1979. He wrote seven books, including *Plastics in surgery* (Springfield, Illinois, 1967, second edition 1972) and *Amputations and artificial limbs* (co-authored with George Swan, Sydney, Department of Orthopaedics and Prosthetics, Sydney Hospital, 1974). He also visited New Guinea in 1966 for a six-week tour, and reported on hospital conditions and orthopaedic services. Bernard's most significant work lay in the field of surgical implants, where he advocated the establishment of standards. Bernard was foundation chairman of the Standards Association of Australia's committee on surgical implants, and of the International Organization for Standardization's technical committee on implants for surgery, from 1972 to 1986. His contributions were recognised in Australia by the Australian Orthopaedic Association executive, and at international level. P G Laing, in his article 'World standards for surgical implants, an American perspective' (*Biomaterials*. 1994 May;15[6]:403-7) wrote: 'Dr Bernard Bloch of Australia was the leader in the early effort and other countries eagerly joined in his work.' Bernard Bloch died on 1 January 2012, aged 89. He was a man of inquiring mind and great energy, and will be remembered professionally for his ability to involve surgeons and scientists in productive collaborations. He was survived by his wife June, three daughters, Gila, Margot and Deborah (another daughter, Pnina, predeceased him in 2003), 11 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Occupation Orthopaedic surgeon
Details Sailendra Bhattacharyya was born in Calcutta on 26 November 1924, the fourth child and eldest son of Shri Jagatnarayan Bhattacharyya and his wife Debi née Bagalasundari. His father was a businessman and the nephew of a famous homeopathic doctor, Shri Mahesh Chandra Bhattacharyya. After attending the Scottish Church Collegiate School in Calcutta, he matriculated in 1942 and studied at the Scottish Church College, passing the ISc. in 1944. He trained in medicine at the R. G. Kar Medical College (RGKMC) and hospital and graduated MB, BS from Calcutta University in 1949. During house jobs in Calcutta he began to specialise in orthopaedics and worked with the founder of the orthopaedic department at the RGKMC, Professor K. C. Sarbadhikary. In 1953 he won a scholarship to the USA and spent a year as resident in orthopaedic surgery at the Bone and Joint Hospital in Oklahoma City before proceeding to the UK where he spent time being mentored by the orthopaedic surgeon Alexander Law in Southampton and passed the fellowship of the college in 1956. On returning to Calcutta later that year he worked at the Sambhunath Pandit Hospital for two years before returning to the RGKMC as a lecturer in orthopaedics. He stayed at the college for 18 years before resigning as an associate professor in 1976 because, he said, the hospital was not keeping up with the times. Appointed orthopaedic consultant at the newly constructed Calcutta Medical and Research Institute, he was able to enjoy the state of the art facilities in a modern hospital. There he carried out many pioneering orthopaedic procedures such as knee replacements and spinal fixations and decompressions. He carried out the first total hip replacement in eastern India and was particularly well known for his treatment of elbow arthrolysis in posttraumatic elbow stiffness. As well as running a busy private practice at Harrington Street, Calcutta, he also managed to found a new hospital and orthopaedic teaching institute at Narayanpur christened the Bhattacharyya Orthopaedics and Related Research Centre (BORRC) in 1994. He was determined that all should have access to the treatment they needed regardless of their ability to pay. The BORRC was a great success and it is claimed that he continued to give consultations to over 60 patients a day into his 90’s and was supervising operations up to the age of 85. Throughout his life he continued to promote orthopaedic education in his country and founded the Gurukul Ashram at BORRC to provide postgraduate education and training for junior orthopaedic surgeons. He attended numerous academic conferences both nationally and internationally and published widely. A meticulous record keeper, he had most of his handwritten records digitised in 1992. Among the many professional bodies he was a member of, he was president of the West Bengal Orthopaedic Association from 1988 to1989 and vice-president of the Indian Orthopaedic Association. Outside medicine he was a keen gardener and a voracious reader. A convivial man, he was famous for providing numerous savoury snacks for his visitors which he expected them to finish. In 1951 he married Ms Geeta and they had two sons and a daughter. In his later years he lived with his son Inderjeet, his wife Kalyani and their two children. He enjoyed visiting his daughter and son-in-law in the USA and would return from these trips with various new electronic devices which he was always eager to use. After a short illness, he died on 18 July 2018 aged 93.

Details Franklyn Gilbert Bell (known as 'Frank') was an orthopaedic surgeon in Fremantle, Western Australia. He was born in Perth, also in Western Australia, the third of five children of Albany Maston Bell, a business proprietor, and Elizabeth Chisholm Bell née Gilbert. He was educated at Perth Modern School, from which he graduated with honours in all subjects. Despite being told that medicine wasn't for him, he went on to the University of Western Australia and then, because this was the era before the medical school at Perth, to Adelaide University. He graduated with honours at Adelaide and with the prize in ophthalmology. He held junior posts in Adelaide and Perth, and then spent six months as a country GP before deciding on orthopaedics and sitting the primary fellowship. He went on to work in the UK at Sheffield Royal Infirmary and Sheffield Children's Hospital, then at Harlow Wood Orthopaedic Hospital. He gained his FRCS in 1955 and was introduced to bloodless surgery while working at the Royal Marsden Hospital. In 1958 Frank returned to Perth, gained the FRACS and was appointed as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Fremantle Hospital, where he worked for 33 years; this was his major legacy. He worked briefly at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and carried out private work at Kaleeya Hospital in East Fremantle, where he was instrumental in setting up Australia's first dedicated centre for bloodless surgery. Frank retired from Fremantle Hospital in 1991, then continued in private practice and mainly medico-legal work until fully retiring in 2004. From childhood days, Frank always enjoyed using his hands and spent most weekends on his farm at Kalannie then Bullsbrook, raising cattle and improving on farm implements. He was a no nonsense leader of orthopaedics in Western Australia, chairman of the Western Australian branch of the Australian Orthopaedic Association and a member of most medical committees at various times. As a mentor and teacher, Frank was at his best and the current senior orthopaedic surgeons in Western Australia revere their trainer and his training. Frank's patients in the early days were post-war migrants, market gardeners or fishermen, and payments for service were often in kind. In 1962 he married Margaret Ann Campbell. She predeceased him in 2005 and Frank died peacefully on 10 September 2012, aged 86. He was survived by their children Jane, Robert and Kathryn, and two grandchildren.

Occupation Orthopaedic surgeon Trauma surgeon
Details Peter Alexander Ring was a consultant orthopaedic surgeon of international repute who worked at Redhill General Hospital. He was born in Finchley, Middlesex, on 30 December 1922. His father, John Richard Ring, was a shop manager. His mother was Caroline née Matthews. Peter went to school at Christ's College, Finchley and on to University College Hospital, London. He qualified in 1945 with the Alexander Bruce medal for surgery and pathology. He did a house surgeon post at University College Hospital and registrar training at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital. He continued his registrar training at Guy's Hospital, where he began his interest in the surgical management of osteoarthritis of the hip under John Stanley Batchelor, reporting the results of the unit's hip operations prior to artificial replacement in 1960. He then returned to University College Hospital as a senior registrar. Between 1956 and 1959, he was the Laming Evans senior research fellow at the Royal College of Surgeons. He became a consultant in 1960, establishing the orthopaedic and accident unit at the Redhill General Hospital. During the 1960's, he was one of the pioneers of total hip replacement, along with John Charnley and Ken McKee. He favoured an un-cemented design with a conical countersunk acetabular component with a long screw held in the iliopubic bar linked to a modified Austin Moore femoral stem. These he developed in what became a long and fruitful relationship with Maurice Down of Down Brothers. Later models had an all-polyethylene acetabular component. He found these had a higher failure rate from wear than the original metal-on-metal articulations. From 1968, he published extensively on the results and complications of un-cemented total hip arthroplasty. He also developed his own un-cemented knee replacement with a titanium femoral shell, screw-fixed tibial plate and polyethylene insert. He published his results. As with other early designs, it did not have a trochlear flange for the patella. In the late 1980's and early 1990's, he withdrew gradually from clinical practice, but maintained his lifelong interest in orthopaedics. He died on 16 March 2018, peacefully, at the age of 95. He had four children by his first wife, Stella, who predeceased him. He was survived by them, and by his second wife, Sheila, and by four grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Their golden wedding anniversary would have fallen later in the year.

Occupation Orthopaedic surgeon
Details Leslie Klenerman was professor of orthopaedic and accident surgery at the University of Liverpool. He was born in Johannesburg on 1 May 1929. His parents, Aaron and Fanny Klenerman, were part of a Latvian and Lithuanian community which had emigrated to South Africa earlier in the century. His father and an aunt, Pauline, were doctors who had trained in the UK and returned to South Africa to practise. Another aunt, Fanny, ran a left wing bookshop in Johannesburg. Leslie studied medicine at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, and qualified in 1951. At Wits he was influenced by the anthropologist Raymond Dart, and became a lecturer in Dart's department of anatomy. In 1956 he moved to the UK and began his specialty training to become an orthopaedic surgeon. He held posts at Oswestry, the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and at the Middlesex, and gained his FRCS in 1957. In 1967 he obtained his first consultant post, at Tottenham, where among other duties he looked after the local Spurs football team. In 1970 he moved on to the new Northwick Park Hospital and associated clinical research centre, recognising that the post gave him an opportunity to develop his research career. In 1987 he took up the long-established chair of orthopaedics at Liverpool, where his surgical practice, research and teaching were all allowed to flourish. In particular, he took on the running of the MCh (Orth) course, which attracted trainees from around the world, encouraging the development of a whole generation of surgeons who came under his mentorship. He cared for not just their professional and scientific development, but took an interest in many aspects of their lives, leaving a lasting legacy worldwide. He had a particular interest in the foot and ankle, helping to establish this sub-specialty both nationally and internationally. He wrote an early, influential book on the subject and was the founding editor of the *Journal of Foot and Ankle Surgery*, the leading journal in the field. He was a founder member of the British Orthopaedic Foot Surgery Society, which became the British Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society, and was its secretary for many years. He was elected president of this society as well as the British Orthopaedic Research Society. He was a leading figure in the European Society of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, and was instrumental in the union of this group with the European Federation of Foot and Ankle Societies. The new organisation, the European Foot and Ankle Society, was formed in 1998 and Leslie also served as its president. Leslie also gave distinguished service to the *Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery*. In retirement, he asked if he could be of use at the Journal and was appointed as an associate editor. He remained in this role for many years, rewriting and editing countless manuscripts. His wide experience was of considerable value at meetings of the editorial board, where his quiet humour often enhanced a spirited discussion. Leslie enjoyed the Journal and his amiable presence made him a valued member of the editorial and production team. He was a dedicated, lifelong swimmer. In South Africa he won national championships at 110 and 220 yards freestyle and just missed being picked for the 1948 Olympics. In the UK he continued to swim every day; his last competitive event was the one-mile Great North Swim in 2012, when he 83. In 1954 he married Naomi Sacks, a fellow Wits student, whom he had met while on a visit to the caves where Raymond Dart was uncovering evidence of early hominins. When they retired, Leslie and Naomi moved first to the Ceiriog Valley in North Wales, and then on to Cambridge, where Leslie taught in the department of anatomy. Leslie Klenerman died on 20 July 2015. He was 86. Predeceased by Naomi, he was survived by two sons, David and Paul, who both inherited his love of science, medicine and sport, and four grandchildren. All his family have benefited from his love, encouragement and wisdom.
