Injury Duty - Bone thugs-n-arthroplasty lyrics

Sir John Charnley was the original Bone Thug. He revolutionized modern hip replacement (arthroplasty) surgery and was even knighted for the magnitude of the contribution. Surgeons have done hip surgery since the 1800s, but turns out using sh*t like ivory to replace human bone was not a good look. Infection and implant failure was rampant until Charnley began remixing joints in the lab. From Teflon to Chrome, he used these materials to reduce friction in the human hip long before rappers rhymed about them to increase friction in the Hip [Hop]. Dr. Charnley was the original “Teflon Don”, the “Chrome to your Dome” King, for creating one of the greatest medical innovations of our time and curing the pain of millions of people around the world in the process.
