Sir John Charnley
One of the greatest
surgical advances of the twentieth century has been the
development of the hip replacement operation. The pioneer
and innovator in the field was Sir John Charnley, an English
orthopedic surgeon.
He invented the
low friction hip replacement in the early 1960s at the Center
for Hip Surgery at Wrightington, England. Surgeons from
all over the world made their way to Wrightington to learn
his techniques.

Sir John Charnley was
a master surgeon, innovator and bio-engineer. Knee and shoulder
replacement surgery developed directly out of his work on the
artificial hip. His work has been an outstanding contribution
to the relief of human suffering.
