This paper describes the life of Sir Robert Jones, from his humble beginnings as an apprentice of Thomas Smith, to his many contributions to the orthopaedic specialty. Robert Jones' passion and interest in the subject led to its advancement from a specialty that dealt mainly with crippling diseases in children, to that of treating and rehabilitating disabled adults. He revolutionized the practice by integrating the use of plain radiography, and by developing many new surgical and procedural techniques. He largely improved the specialty by publishing many textbooks and papers, and trained many orthopaedic surgeons from within England and internationally. The purpose of this paper seeks to provide a platform for readers to learn about the man behind the Jones fracture and bandage. It will help readers understand how one man's passion for orthopaedics helped transform it into a specialty in its own rights.
本文描述了罗伯特·琼斯爵士的一生，从他作为托马斯·史密斯的学徒时的 humble beginnings，到他对骨科专业的诸多贡献。罗伯特·琼斯对该学科的热情和兴趣促使其从主要处理儿童致残性疾病的专业，发展到治疗和康复残疾成年人的专业。他通过整合普通X线摄影的使用以及开发许多新的手术和操作技术，彻底改变了这一实践。他通过出版许多教科书和论文，极大地提升了该专业，并培训了来自英国国内和国际的许多骨科外科医生。本文的目的是为读者提供一个平台，以了解琼斯骨折和绷带背后的这个人。它将帮助读者理解一个人对骨科的热情是如何帮助将其转变为一门独立的专业的。 （注：原文中“humble beginnings”直译为“卑微的开端”，这里根据语境意译为“出身卑微”更合适）
