Who’s Who in Orthopedics

American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, on the executive and membership committees and the editorial board of the American Orthopedic Association, and on the task force on questions of the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. In addition to his membership in local and regional orthopedic societies, he belonged to the Inter- urban Club and the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT). He also was among the 1959 ABC Traveling Fellows.

His ability to see the essence of a problem, a situation, or an issue quickly and to express it suc- cinctly and often humorously made him a favorite with patients and residents alike. His humility in the midst of national renown endeared him to all.

Always a gentleman, he was considerate and kind to even the youngest of medical students, and many young residents had their egos boosted by being asked their opinions by “The Editor of Campbell’s.”

During his busy professional life, tireless support and a safe haven were provided by his wife, Ruth. His last 2 years of retirement allowed him to spend time with her; his children, Andrew, Tom, Sarah, and Jeannie; and his five grand- children. He finally had time for mowing the lawn and walking with McGregor, his Scottish terrier and constant companion. That he chose to spend a large part of retirement editing the most recent edition of “The Book” reflects his commitment to duty and excellence.

Throughout his 37 years as an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. A.H. Crenshaw personified the old- fashioned values of duty, loyalty, integrity, and excellence. His death on October 18, 1991, left us with one fewer of the “giants” on whose experi- ence and expertise our specialty rests.

Andrew Hoyt CRENSHAW

1920–1991

Andrew Hoyt Crenshaw was born in Martin, Georgia, in 1920. He received his BS degree from Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina, and his MD degree from Emory University in Atlanta. His medical training was interrupted by service in the United States Army Medical Corps, from July 1945 through January 1947. After completion of an orthopedic residency at the Campbell Foundation, he joined the staff of the Campbell Clinic in 1951.

Although Dr. Crenshaw’s skill as a surgeon and acumen as a diagnostician were quickly evident, his partners soon discovered another talent. After contributing two chapters to the third edition of Campbell’s Operative Orthopedics in 1956, he became the editor of the fourth edition in 1963.

He served in that capacity for five editions of this voluminous text, completing work on the eighth edition only days before his death. A colleague described his work as follows: “Hoyt reads what I’ve written, then writes what I meant to say.”

His editorial expertise was not confined to Campbell’s Operative Orthopedics, however. Dr.

Crenshaw was an associate editor of The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery from 1963 through 1972, as well as of the AAOS Bulletin and the Journal of Continuing Education in Orthopedics.

He contributed numerous articles to the orthope- dic literature, many of them now classics.

Dr. Crenshaw gave fully of his time and talents

to orthopedic specialty societies. Among his

duties, he served as librarian–historian of the
