    Who’s Who in Orthopedics Senn was the first surgeon to advocate the reduction and nailing of hip fractures on the basis of animal experiments. In this aspect he was far ahead of his time. When his paper, “The treatment of fractures of the neck of the femur by immedi- ate reduction and permanent fixation,” was first presented at the meeting of the American Surgi- cal Association on June 1, 1883, its concepts were vigorously opposed by all of his listeners, pro- voking Senn to say: “Any person who can hit the head of a femur in a cat will certainly not miss it in operating on a human subject.” However, because of this opposition, he eschewed nailing his patients with hip fractures and treated them by reduction and immobilization in plaster spicas, a method popularized by Royal Whitman.

  • John Benjamin Murphy, MD
    An American Original: John Benjamin Murphy, MD By: Ron Sims, Special Collections Librarian In late December 2010, the Galter Library was pleased to accept donated materials from Barbara Miller, the great granddaughter of J. B. Murphy. Among the treasures are photographs, newspaper clippings, an oil portrait and copies of Dr. Murphy’s Clinics. One of the more interesting items is a letter of introduction dated January 5, 1891, addressed to German authorities in Berlin from the Cook County Hospital administration, requesting assistance in obtaining “Koch lymph” for the Hospital. These and other items will be on display in the Eckenhoff Reference Room and the second level reception area of Special Collections through early fall 2011. John Benjamin Murphy, MD, LLD, MSc was Professor of surgery at Northwestern from 1901 to 1905. Following a brief hiatus at the University of Illinois College of Medicine, he returned to Northwestern in 1908. He was chief of surgery at Mercy Hospital, Northwestern’s first teaching hospital, from 1895 until his death in 1916. Born in a log cabin near Appleton, Wisconsin in 1857, John Murphy was to become an American surgical marvel of national and international fame. After attending a country grade school, he continued his education in Appleton, where a recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin, R. H. Schmidt, taught him logic and chemistry. Mr. Schmidt was a forceful speaker and was a great influence on young John and his classmates. Dr. H. W. Reilly, the Murphy family physician, became one of young John’s heroes, as well as his preceptor in medicine.

  • Plastic Surgery in Chicago in the 20Th Century by B. Herold Griffith, M.D., F.A.C.S. and Gregory A. Dumanian, M.D., F.A.C.S (Pre
    Plastic Surgery in Chicago in the 20th Century By B. Herold Griffith, M.D., F.A.C.S. and Gregory A. Dumanian, M.D., F.A.C.S (Presented at the meeting of the Chicago Society of Medical History April 3, 2001 and amended 2011 by Dr. Dumanian) In 1900, the Chicago Surgical Society was founded by 26 local surgeons, among them such giants as Christian Fenger, John B. Murphy and Nicholas Senn. All of the founders were general surgeons- in the broadest sense of the word- and all performed plastic surgical procedures as the need arose, but none was what we would call a “plastic surgeon”. The first World War (1914-18) was different from previous wars in many ways. It was mainly a trench war and soldiers had the uncomfortable habit of looking over the tops of trenches, only to have their faces mutilated if they were lucky enough not to be killed. In 1916, just after the Battle of the Somme, Captain Harold Delf Gillies, an otolaryngologist in the Royal Army Medical Corps, was sent to France, where he was appalled by the many facially crippled British soldiers he discovered. At that time, there was no effective treatment for these types of injuries. He asked for and was granted permission to tackle this complex problem and in so doing, became the father of British plastic surgery. All of the plastic surgeons in Britain and many in America- as well as the rest of the world- can claim Sir Harold Gillies as their professional ancestor, including his cousin Sir Archibald McIndoe; and in Glasgow, Scotland; J.
