Sir Benjamin Collins Brodie, 1st Baronet, FRS (9 June 1783 – 21 October 1862) was an English physiologist and surgeon who pioneered research into bone and joint disease.
In 1810 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society, to which in the next four or five years he contributed several papers describing original investigations in physiology.
This volume led to the adoption by surgeons of more conservative measures in the treatment of diseases of the joints, with the consequent reduction in the number of amputations and the saving of many limbs and lives.
Sir Benjamin Collins Brodie died of a shoulder tumour in Broome Park, Surrey at the age of 79.
[4][5]) In 1816 Brodie married Anne Sellon, daughter of an eminent lawyer and they had several children of whom three survived into maturity.
