2rd Annual Henry V Crock Lecture
The 2007 Henry V Crock lecture was delivered by Dr Leonard Fass, Director Academic Relations GE Healthcare, on the 10th October 2007 at Imperial College London. The subject was A Journey Around The Spine and was centred around the amazing ability of modern imaging especially MRI to evaluate and understand the process of spinal diseases, particularly the importance of improved visibility to the detection and understanding of the biochemistry of the intervertebral disc.
Inaugural Henry V Crock Lecture
The inaugural lecture, held in conjunction with Imperial College and the Institute of Musculoskeletal Surgery on 6th September 2006, was given by Harry Crock himself, entitled “Reflections on 50 years in Orthopaedics”. The event attracted a large and international audience, and was poignant, amusing, informative, and ultimately challenging in Mr Crock’s call for the percentage of spinal trauma’s resulting in paralysis to be dramatically reduced, an outcome he believes is attainable. |
