Abstract
The long history of excellence and continued success of the University of Iowa Department of Orthopedics and Rehabilitation is due to the dedication and talent of generations of faculty, residents and staff. Many former Iowa Orthopedic residents have made significant contributions and become leaders in Orthopedic surgery. An orthopedic surgeon and scholar with roots at the University of Iowa deserving of tribute is Dr. Leland Greene Hawkins. His seminal investigation and interest in fractures of the talus established the well-known Hawkins Classification for talar neck fractures, which revolutionized treatment and quantified the risk of progression to avascular necrosis, earning him attention and respect worldwide.
