of Sports Medicine. He received an honorary membership in the American Orthopedic Associ- ation for Sports Medicine in 1976, and was cited as “Sportsman of the Year” in 1978. During the period from 1977 to 1978, he was president of the Harvard Medical Alumni Association.

Dr. Quigley has made numerous contributions to the art and practice of orthopedic surgery, but his approach to the management of the frozen shoulder and the development of a procedure to stabilize the knee utilizing the popliteal muscle deserve special attention.

An unusually competent and compassionate surgeon, Dr. Quigley has served as a role model for students and residents for more than four decades. He has been a superb teacher, perhaps in part owing to his acting talents, but also because of his knowledge and surgical abilities. He has always enjoyed the company of young people, especially athletes, students, and residents, and he has encouraged the scholarly activities of numer- ous surgical and orthopedic residents.

Whether on rounds or in the operating room, Dr. Quigley has evidenced the ability to recognize the problem at hand and react in a precise way. In the care of patients, the education of students and residents, and writing, Dr. Quigley has always demonstrated great style.

Fred C. REYNOLDS

1908–1986

Fred was born in Texarkana, Texas. He enrolled in Washington University in 1926 and received a Doctor of Medicine degree in 1934. He became a surgical house officer at Barnes Hospital under the supervision of Dr. Evarts Graham. In 1937, he left St. Louis and began a preceptorship in ortho- pedic surgery with Dr. E. Bishop Mumford in Indianapolis, Indiana.

In 1942, Fred entered active duty with the United States Army and in 1943 was transferred to England. While he was assigned to the 192nd General Hospital in 1944, he met Lieutenant Phyllis Terry, a nurse who was assigned to the orthopedic service. They were married in Febru- ary of 1945. After Victory in Europe Day, he became chief of orthopedic surgery at Gardiner General Hospital in Chicago until his return to civilian life, after achieving the rank of lieutenant colonel in 1946.

He had planned to practice medicine in Texas, but after stopping in St. Louis to renew an old acquaintance with Dr. J. Albert Key, he stayed, joined Dr. Key in practice, and resumed his affil- iation with Washington University and the Barnes Hospital. He developed an interest in basic research and wrote articles on the banking of bone, experimental fracture healing, arthroplasty, and the spine. In 1961, Fred coauthored the seventh edition of Fractures, Dislocations and Sprains, the definitive textbook on fractures for that time.

After Dr. Key’s death, Fred was invited by Dr. Carl Moyer to join the full-time faculty at 286

Who’s Who in Orthopedics

professor and chief of the Division of Orthopedic Surgery. He subsequently developed an academic program that had ten full-time faculty members and an active laboratory for basic sciences, which attracted residents and faculty from the entire nation. He retired as chairman in 1972 and became professor emeritus in 1976. Fred was honored by the Alumni Association in 1978 and 1984. The Fred C. Reynolds Chair of Orthopedic Surgery was created at Washington University in 1979 from contributions by his friends, students and patients.

Fred became active in the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, serving as chairman of the Instructional Course Committee from 1959 to 1961, chairman of the Committee on Graduate Education from 1961 to 1964, and editor of the Instructional Course Lectures and president in 1965. He was president of the Clinical Orthope- dic Society in 1960, and he was elected to the American Orthopedic Association. In addition to being a member of the American Board of Ortho- pedic Surgery and of state and local orthopedic and surgical societies, Fred was president of the St. Louis Orthopedic Society and of the Clinical Orthopedic Society and served on study sections of the National Institutes of Health and the editorial board of The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, and was a founder and first president of the Association of Orthopedic Chairmen. He was the orthopedic surgeon for the Cardinals, the St.

Louis football team, from 1961 to 1972, and con- tinued with them as an active consultant until his death.

Fred considered his major responsibility to be the education of students and doctors at the residency and post-residency level. His greatest quality as a teacher was his uncompromising honesty and integrity. He was his own severest critic, a quality he taught by example to those around him. He had no patience for stupidity or laziness. Fred’s advice to residents, whether they entered military service (an experience he thought would be valuable) or practice, was the same:

never stop studying.

Fred was a master surgeon and a careful and thoughtful physician. To those who knew him superficially, he was a crusty, grumpy, taciturn man. But those who were privileged to be asso- ciated with him knew him as a caring, compas- sionate, highly skilled physician, teacher, and friend. His wish for his residents was that they should be better physicians, surgeons, scholars,
