Hugh Owen Thomas, Welsh surgeon C016 / 6299
Hugh Owen Thomas (1834-1891), Welsh surgeon. Thomas is known as the father of orthopaedic surgery. He came from a family of renowned bone-setters, but was the first to receive formal medical training, becoming a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1857. He practiced in Liverpool, specialising in orthopaedic surgery. He developed a number of orthopaedic devices, including the Thomas splint, a type of traction splint that stabilised femur (thigh bone) fractures and prevented infection. The use of the splint by Thomass nephew during World War I reduced the mortality rate for femur fractures from 80 per cent to 8 per cent
