I added a "Notable Alumni" section, and seeded it with a few names, linked to their Wiki, HSS or outside pages. Lots more names could be added. Linked up most of the surgeons-in-chief and physicians-in-chief to Wiki, HSS or outside web pages. Add a picture of William Coley from his Wiki page. Would make sense to add links to other orthopedic hospitals under external links.Bjhillis (talk) 02:33, 26 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Updating The Hospital for Special Surgery Wikipedia Article

edit
Latest comment: 25 days ago26 comments2 people in discussion

The Hospital for Special Surgery Wikipedia article currently has a verification banner, an out of date Lead paragraph and a scant History section. I've created a Sandbox to address the Lead and History sections with over 40 secondary sources. I have a COI, declared above, so I appreciate all help reviewing and publishing the suggested sandbox.

Improving the article to remove the banner
Location:Lead Paragraph and the History Section

1. Reason and Request: The current Lead paragraph is not an accurate summation of the article. The suggested Lead paragraph cleans up the promotional tone of the current Lead paragraph. The proposed additions to the History section adds 50+ secondary sources and a historical chronology of the hospital 1863-present based on those sources.


Lead Paragraph

  Done (mostly-- Edited on article) Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) is an academic medical center and research institution headquartered in New York City that specializes in the treatment of orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions. Its main campus is located at 535 East 70th Street in Manhattan and has locations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida. The hospital was founded in 1863 by James Knight. HSS is the oldest orthopedic hospital in the United States and is consistently ranked as the world's top orthopedic hospital. Bryan T Kelly, MD, MBA served as the former surgeon-in-chief and currently serves as president and chief executive officer. Douglas E. Padgett, MD serves as the current surgeon-in-chief.

Areas of expertise at HSS include joint replacement, orthopedic trauma, hand and upper extremity surgery, limb lengthening, osseointegration, foot and ankle surgery, pediatric orthopedics, spine surgery, sports medicine, physiatry, rheumatology, and physical therapy. HSS Education Institute offers residency programs, fellowship programs, and professional medical education programs. The hospital has 453 active medical staff.

  • Comment: Will add the following when remaining article updates are added. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 20:34, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
  • Another comment on this last paragraph of the lead: these rankings are cited to the (primary) HSS website in the text below, rather than to the original secondary Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report" sources. Because the statement provides qualitative claims that could be perceived as self-promotional, the sourcing in the 1980-present section needs to be secondary to avoid the appearance of promotional cruft. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 23:47, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

HSS is ranked #1 in orthopedics worldwide by Newsweek (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) and in the United States by U.S. News & World Report (2010-2024). Currently, HSS is also ranked #2 in rheumatology by U.S. News & World Report.

1863-1899

edit

Hospital for Special Surgery was incorporated in New York City on March 27, 1863, as the Society for the Relief of the Ruptured and Crippled by a group that includes Dr. James Knight, a general practicing physician, and Robert M. Hartley, a secretary of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor.[1]: 32  The hospital was founded as a philanthropic effort to provide medical care to injured Civil War soldiers and needy city residents.[2][1]: 3  Dr. Knight was appointed Resident Physician and Surgeon. The hospital was located in the Manhattan home of Dr. Knight, at 97 Second Avenue. There were 28 inpatient beds available for children and a conservatory to make braces. Adults were treated as outpatients. The poor were treated for free, and others were charged a moderate fee. The hospital opened its doors to the first patient, a four-year-old boy with paralysis, on May 1, 1863.[3][4]

In 1870, the hospital moved to a 200-bed, four-story hospital built on the northwest corner of Lexington Avenue and 42nd Street (Manhattan).[1]: 39  In 1871, Virgil P. Gibney joined the hospital as an assistant physician and surgeon. Gibney was appointed as the second surgeon-in-chief after Dr. James Knight’s passing in 1887.[5]

In 1887, the hospital founded the first orthopedic residency program in the country. Young doctors in training would apply for a one-year position as house surgeon, senior assistant, or junior assistant.[1]: 54  They became known as residents, a term now universally recognized in this country as a doctor in training.

The first dedicated operating room opened in 1898.[6] In 1899, the hospital opened a pathology laboratory and installed the first X-ray machine four years after Wilhelm Röntgen invented the device.[7]

1900-1939

edit

In 1903, the hospital opened its first adult ward for female inpatients only. HSS became known as a national center for treating people affected by the polio epidemics.[1]: 86  In 1901, Whitman developed an operation to stabilize polio survivors’ paralyzed feet. The procedure afforded him and the hospital worldwide recognition. The hospital treated many polio patients during the 1907 and 1916 New York City polio epidemics.[1]: 118  The State Charities Aid Association requested HSS to aid paraplegics patients throughout New York State. In 1912, the hospital moved to a six-story building on 42nd Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue, a site that is now the home of the Ford Foundation.[8]

During World War I, the hospital opened its first male inpatient ward to treat injured sailors, marines, and soldiers.[1]: 118  In 1924, Dr. R. Garfield Snyder was appointed as the first Physician-in-Chief and was handpicked by Gibney to lead the HSS rheumatology program, which he did from 1924 to 1944. Synder published early therapeutic studies on Vitamin D, cinchophen, and gold compounds’ effects on arthritis.[9]

In the same year, the hospital established its first Department of Physiotherapy (later known as Physical Therapy).[1]: 149  In 1925, the hospital opened its Occupational Therapy Department.[10]: 149  In the same year, the hospital's Board of Managers appointed Dr. William B. Coley as the third Surgeon-in-Chief. It was the first time a general surgeon held the position at the hospital.[11] With his mentor, Dr. William Bull, Coley advanced the surgical treatment of hernias at the hospital. Before the advent of surgical intervention, many adults and children became incapacitated by abdominal hernias, which could only be treated by braces and trusses.[12] Bull and Coley’s introduction of modern surgery eventually made the hospital the foremost hernia center in the country. Philip D. Wilson became Surgeon-in-Chief in 1935.[13] Coley, as surgeon-in-chief emeritus, helped Wilson reorganize the Surgical Department. Under Wilson’s leadership, the hospital became increasingly focused on musculoskeletal conditions.[14]

1940-1979

edit

In 1940, the hospital renamed the organization to the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS).[15] World War II significantly affected the staff, but patient care went uninterrupted. Many staff surgeons and doctors served overseas during the war. Residencies programs were temporarily reduced from two years to one year. The war effort demanded a greater number of orthopedic doctors and surgeons. Significant orthopedic advancements in fracture care, wound management, amputation surgery, and rehabilitation resulted from the battlefield experiences of HSS surgeons.[1]: 184–207 

Dr. Richard Freyberg formalized the establishment of a rheumatic disease service at HSS and created fellowships in rheumatology.[16] The hospital established one of the first bone banks in the United States in 1946.[1]: 206  In 1949, HSS became affiliated with New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical College.[17] Under the agreement, HSS would provide orthopedic and rheumatological services for both organizations and subsequently eliminated the Department of General Surgery and other non-orthopedic surgical specialties.[18]

The hospital moved to its present location of 535 East 70th Street in 1955.[19] In the same year, Dr. Wilson stepped down as surgeon-in-chief and assumed the new title of Director of Research and Emeritus Surgeon-in-Chief. The hospital added the Alfred H. Caspary Research Building to its facilities in 1956.[20]

Dr. T. Campbell Thompson became Surgeon-in-Chief in 1955. He is known for developing the Fracture Service at New York Hospital. The Margaret Caspary Research Building opened in 1960 and increased the hospital's capacity to 196.[21]

In 1972, Dr. Philip D. Wilson Jr., MD, was appointed the eighth Surgeon-in-Chief of the Hospital, the same position held by his father thirty-seven years earlier. In 1974, Dr. Peter Walker, Dr. John Insall, Dr. Chitranjan Ranawat, and Dr. Alan Inglis performed the first successful total condylar knee replacement.[1]: 295  The hospital also established its first sports medicine clinic and a biomechanics laboratory so surgeons and engineers could collaborate on improving prosthesis design. The clinic was established the same year that Congress passed the first Medical Device Regulation Act to collaborate with surgeons on device design, development, and the regulatory pathway for medical devices through the FDA.[22]

1980-Present

edit

In 1980, a major hospital expansion doubled the number of operating rooms from four to eight, with designated areas for performing total joint procedures. The expansion added the Belaire Building to its main campus.[1]: 275  In 1987, the hospital added the Division of Pediatric Rheumatology. In 1988, HSS was designated a Multipurpose Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Diseases Center by the National Institutes of Health.[23] Five years later, the NIH designated HSS as a Specialized Center of Research for the study of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.[24][25] In 1989, the hospital opened a new facility on 73rd Street in Manhattan funded but the Dana Foundation, to house the biomechanics laboratory and to provide custom-made prosthetic limb and orthotics services.

In 1990, Dr. Andrew J. Weiland was appointed the ninth Surgeon-in-Chief.[26] In 1991, HSS added two new ambulatory operating rooms and a 10-bed postoperative care unit. In the same year, the Department of Physiatry was established. The Barbara Volker Center for Women with Rheumatic Diseases was founded in 1997.[27][28]

In 2000, HSS was awarded the first New York State Department of Health Patient Safety Award.[29]

In 2015, the AIM Laboratory for Foot and Ankle Research was established. The laboratory is centered around a six-degrees-of-freedom robotic platform.[30]

During the COVID-19 pandemic HSS served as an emergency room for all of NYC for people with injuries in order to prevent them from having to go to the usual emergency rooms, which were overwhelmed with COVID patients.[31] HSS shut down all nonessential care during the pandemic and proactively volunteered to temporarily convert two ORs into Covid wards for a period of time, while also taking on non-COVID medical-surgical patients from neighboring Weill Cornell.[32]

In 2021, HSS broke ground on a new 12-story building over FDR Drive at 71st Street, funded by a gift from the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation.[33] HSS received Magnet Recognition for nursing excellence in 2002, 2007, 2011, 2016, and 2021. HSS has nationally ranked No. 1 in orthopedics for 14 consecutive years and ranked No. 2 in rheumatology by U.S. News & World Report in 2023.[34][35] Bryan T. Kelly, MD was appointed President and CEO of HSS in 2023.[36] Kelly is the hospital’s first surgeon-in-chief to become CEO.[37]

Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 00:23, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Chefmikesf, I left comments in <<brackets>> in your Sandbox article. I found some NYT articles that clarified for me the sequence of the changeover to the HSS in the early 1940's. (The links are from my NYT accoun and are "gift" links that may not be permalinks. If you don't subscribe to NYT, consider the $1/week option if there are problems with the links.) My other concerns had to do with reliance on primary sources for so much of the content, but I am satisfied there are enough reliable secondary sources, and that the primary sources simply verify uncontested factual content. Interesting piece! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 02:17, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Grand'mere Eugene, Thanks for your input on the sources and suggestions on the subscriptions. I also found that 1956 New Yorker article to help support the Alfred H. Caspary Research Building sentence. Anatomy of the Hospital had all its sources at the end of each chapter, so as I find copies of the works, I will replace sources so the article is less reliant on the primary source. In the meantime, I'll find sources for the other sections you pointed out so we can remove that banner. --Chefmikesf (talk) 01:46, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Good plan. I have your sandbox on my watch list and will review new sources as you add them. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 18:34, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Grand'mere Eugene, I updated my sandbox with new Affiliations and Facilities sections. I'm still working on the Research section, but found two sources to validate the existing content. What do you think?--Chefmikesf (talk) 19:57, 25 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Good job. I moved the image up into the history section that mentions William Bradley Coley, but if you intended it to be near the Research section, let me know. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 00:18, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Grand'mere Eugene Thank you! That image fits in the History section. Can I remove the duplicate? Also, can we update the Facilities section too? Last, with the additional references, do you think we can remove the banner?----Chefmikesf (talk) 18:24, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I updated the facilities section... sorry I inadvertently left the dup image, so go ahead and remove it. I'll take a look at the citations, may just add some cn templates where cits seem to be missing before removing the tag at the top of the article. May take me a few days-- getting ready for invasion of grandkids! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 19:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
No problem @Grand'mere Eugene! I hope you're having a great summer with the grandkids. Stay cool! It sure is hot on the West Coast at the moment; the high here will be 95 today. Whenever you get to the tags, I'll be sure to research some sources and replace them. Always a pleasure!--Chefmikesf (talk) 18:14, 9 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Grand'mere Eugene, I just wanted to check in with you to see if you had any more reference recommendations to remove the reference banner. Best, --Chefmikesf (talk) 19:32, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
I deleted the banner at the top of the article, and added section tags to the 2 alumni sections. The notable alumni section at least has links to their WP articles, but the notable faculty section either needs to be deleted or (ideally) have WP articles with citations verifying their times of service. What do you think? — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 20:32, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Grand'mere Eugene, I believe the NIH sources or the book has the tenure of the doctors. Let me verify this and add the sources for your review. Thoughts?--Chefmikesf (talk) 22:08, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I think that would resolve the issue of verification by a reliable source. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 23:20, 23 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hi Grand'mere Eugene! I found all the sources and added them to my sandbox. What do you think? If you think they are sufficient, I can re-code them to work on the HSS Wikipedia article.--Chefmikesf (talk) 18:42, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Looks good to me. By re-coding are you referring to the date value parameters in some of the refs? — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 19:38, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, and some of the refs will be duplicates of existing references from the history section.--Chefmikesf (talk) 20:13, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Grand'mere Eugene Whenever you think it's ready, I'll let you remove the banners. Appreciate the guidance!--Chefmikesf (talk) 21:43, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Grand'mere Eugene, Greetings from WikiConference North America! I was able to finish up the last section, Research. I also found the new national rankings for 2024-2025. What do you think about these updates?--Chefmikesf (talk) 19:45, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Done, however I didn't find "217 patents" in the Google patents reference. Is the total buried somewhere in the listings that follow, which seems to indicate 269? Are duplicates listed in the 269 total? — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 23:19, 6 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks @Grand'mere Eugene. For the patents, I exported the results into a CSV, then sorted out irrelevant patents from other patent owners to get 217. I will search for a more definitive source, maybe from a .gov site. Best--Chefmikesf (talk) 18:48, 7 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
