Simple act of walking on two feet
gives patient reason to
celebrate
A devastating accident broke every bone
in Martha Moosmann’s foot. She will
forever be grateful to the Campbell
Clinic surgeon who believed her foot
could be saved.
W
hen Martha Moosmann gets dressed for
church next Sunday, the only part of her ladylike
wardrobe that will look a little less than perfect will
be the neat white tennis shoes on her feet.
“Oh, it will be nice if one day I can wear dressy
shoes to church again,” Martha says with a smile.
“But right now, I’m just happy to be wearing any
kind of shoes at all.”
In January of 2006, on a Sunday morning as
she was driving home from church, Martha was hit
head-on by another driver. Every bone in her right
foot was broken, and some were crushed. Doctors
considered amputation.
“I believe my faith in God and Campbell Clinic
are the reasons I still have my foot and can walk on
it again,” said Martha. “Having to wear less-thanpretty shoes doesn’t seem like much when you
consider what might have been.”
Every bone was broken
In the accident almost two years ago that changed
Martha’s life, the other driver’s SUV slid on a rainslicked roadway, crossed the center lane, and
slammed into Martha’s small convertible. In the
impact, the dashboard of Martha’s car collapsed onto
her right foot, breaking all the bones and dislocating
her ankle. Martha also suffered head injuries, broken
ribs, and facial cuts.
“I was taken to The Med (the Regional Medical
Center at Memphis) and was unconscious until
the next day,” she said. “One of the first things I
remember was seeing about six doctors standing at
the foot of my bed, with their arms crossed, looking
at my foot and ankle. They said they had looked at
my x-rays and they thought I would be
better off if they amputated my foot.”
Campbell Clinic provides orthopaedic services
to The Med. On call that Sunday afternoon was
Dr. Susan Ishikawa, a foot and ankle specialist who
served a fellowship at Campbell Clinic in 1999 and
joined the Clinic’s staff in 2005.
“Mrs. Moosmann had one of the worst foot
injuries I had ever seen,” said Dr. Ishikawa, who
treated numerous blast injuries while serving as an
orthopaedic surgeon at a surgical station outside
Bagdad. “She had severe fractures and dislocations
of the hind foot and mid-foot.”
“Dr. Sue (Ishikawa) was very straightforward,”
Martha said. “She agreed with the other doctors that
the injury was severe. She didn’t make any promises,
but she was willing to try to save my foot. I had
a lot of confidence in her, in part because of past
experience I had with Campbell Clinic.”

has resumed many
of her favorite
activities, including
gardening.
On the road to recovery, Martha
accumulated a large collection
of tennis shoes, the only footwear
comfortable on her injured foot.
A good feeling about
Campbell Clinic
Dr. Susan Ishikawa
In 2002, Martha fell in an
icy parking lot at a local mall
on New Year’s Day. She heard
a loud pop and was unable to
get up. At a nearby emergency
room, x-rays revealed she had a
shattered patella.
“When they asked if I knew
an orthopaedic doctor that
they should call, I remembered
Dr. David LaVelle of Campbell
Clinic, who had treated my
son’s football injury some time
ago,” Martha said. “Dr. LaVelle
came right on, even though
it was a holiday. I had surgery
involving pins and rods, but in
time, I was able to resume my
normal activities. So I had a good feeling about
Campbell Clinic.”
Martha retired in 2003 after a busy career as
a bank manager in Germantown, and she began
filling her days with activities she enjoys: sewing,
“Through all this, Dr. Sue always
gave me hope. She and her staff were
always so encouraging.”
— Martha Moosmann
gardening, bike riding, walking for fitness and
pleasure, and traveling. A widow who remarried
several years ago, Martha and her husband Pete
spent a month in Paris in the summer of 2005.
“We hiked all over Paris. We both enjoyed
walking,” Martha said. “I just couldn’t imagine
losing my foot and how my life would change. I
promised Dr. Sue that if she would do everything
she could to save my foot, I would do everything
I could to get better. And I will forever be
grateful that she was willing to try.”
Many steps to recovery
During the 17 days she was hospitalized at
The Med, Mrs. Moosmann underwent three
surgeries in which Dr. Ishikawa worked to realign
the foot and ankle.
The realignment required that Dr. Ishikawa
insert screws inside Martha’s foot and a frame
outside the foot. The frame is an external fixation
device that provides greater stabilization of
multiple fractures in patients with severe trauma
to the foot than is possible through screws alone.
Later, Dr. Ishikawa performed two additional
surgeries at Campbell Clinic Surgery Center to
remove pins and screws.
“During the course of my recovery, I went
from a wheelchair to a walker to crutches to a
cane, and now to a brace on my foot,” Martha
said. “There was a time when I had rods sticking
out of my foot like some kind of laboratory
monster, and I had to cut my pants legs to get
them over the rods. There was tremendous
swelling, so that my foot looked like a loaf of
bread.
“Through all this, Dr. Sue always gave me
hope,” Martha said. “I knew, because she was
with Campbell Clinic, that she was a skilled and
able surgeon. But she was also patient. She and
her staff were always so encouraging. Each time I
would ask if I would ever be able to walk on the
foot again, she would say, ‘You still have a ways
to go, but you are ahead of where I thought you
would be at this point in your recovery.’”
At one time, Martha had a cast up to her
knee. Then she wore a medical boot so heavy
that she couldn’t turn over in the bed at night.
Missing her active life, Martha compensated
by crocheting and knitting. She responded
to dozens of get-well cards from friends who
followed her progress. She also kept a journal.
Foot & Ankle Facts
Nearly one-fourth of all bones
in your body are in your feet. The
feet of the average adult log more
than 1,000 miles each year.
A recent National Hospital
Ambulatory Medical Care Survey
indicated that foot or ankle
symptoms accounted for 12.8
million physician visits annually.
Common types of non-traumatic
foot and ankle injuries include:
Ankle sprains, often caused by
sports injuries.
Achilles tendon injuries. Sports
that tighten the calf muscles, such
as basketball and running, can overstress this tendon.
Overuse injuries. Excessive
training, such as running long
distances without rest, places
repeated stress on the foot and
ankle. The result can be stress
fractures and muscle/tendon
strains.
Shin splints. Pain in front of
the shin bone (tibia) usually is
caused by a stress fracture, called
shin splints. Overtraining, poorly
fitting athletic shoes, and a
change in running surface can
cause shin splints.

Orthopaedic Surgeons; American
Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society.
“Mrs. Moosmann was an excellent patient,”
Dr. Ishikawa said. “She was very proactive,
always following directions and remaining
optimistic. Her positive attitude played an
important role in her recovery.”
“It was more than a year before I could put
my weight on my right foot again,” Martha
said. “I had days and months with pain and
anxiety. But now I thank God for every step
I take.”
Walking without pain
Today Martha can walk without pain. She
still has occasional swelling when she is on
her feet for a long time, “but I can live with
that,” Martha said. Her footwear consists
solely of tennis shoes with special inserts to
support her foot. A brace that fits into the
shoe supports her ankle.
Martha’s husband Pete underwent hip
replacement surgery performed by Dr. John
Crockarell of Campbell Clinic in July 2007,
and the two of them now make swimming
in their backyard pool a primary fitness
activity. Martha still enjoys shopping with her
granddaughter, although the trips are shorter
than before.
“I believe in prayer,” Martha said, “and I
believe it is a miracle that I am using my foot
again, considering how badly I was injured.
My husband, my family, my church, and my
friends were always there for me. And I credit
God and Dr. Sue. If it were not for them, I
wouldn’t be walking on two feet today.”

Fund honors Dr. Rocco Calandruccio,
a pioneer in adult joint reconstruction
Patients remember
Dr. Rocco
Calandruccio
“In addition to being a
skilled surgeon, Dr. Cal had
a great bedside manner.
He was always smiling
when he came into my
room. He told you exactly
what your condition was
and how he was going to
make you better. And, in
my case, he did make me
better!”
—Josh Bell III of M emphis,
who broke his neck in a diving
accident as a college student.
A fter Dr. Calandruccio
performed surgery, Bell
recovered and has led a full ,
active life.
“My gift to The Campbell
Foundation in honor of Dr.
Calandruccio reflects my
respect and admiration
for him as a surgeon,
administrator and friend.
I wanted to support
orthopaedic research and
education because I know
those are things he cared
about.”
—Diana Crump of M emphis,
a Campbell Clinic patient
Dr. Rocco A. Calandruccio
The Rocco A. Calandruccio Research and
Education Fund has been established at The
Campbell Foundation in honor of a Campbell
Clinic surgeon widely admired for his achievements in research, his commitment to training
future orthopaedic surgeons, and his devotion
to quality patient care.
Dr. Calandruccio, who died this summer
at the age of 84, served as Campbell Clinic’s
Chief of Staff and as chairman of the UTCampbell Clinic Department of Orthopaedic
Surgery during the 36 years he practiced at
Campbell Clinic. He authored numerous
scientific articles and contributed to several
editions of Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics.
One of his sons, Dr. James Calandruccio,
currently practices orthopaedic surgery at
Campbell Clinic as a hand specialist. Of the
fund established in memory of his father, Dr.
Jim Calandruccio said, “If my dad had written
his own obituary, he would have reached out
to those who supported his life work and suggested they contribute to promote research
and education at The Campbell Foundation.”
Dr. and Mrs. Arsen Manugian have made a
gift to the fund at The Campbell Foundation
honoring Dr. Calandruccio. Dr. Manugian, a
surgeon with Memphis Orthopaedic Group,
said, “I feel privileged to have had Dr. Cal as
a teacher. He will be fondly remembered as a
great educator and mentor who had a significant impact on generations of budding young
orthopaedists. He will always be considered
one of the outstanding surgeons of his time.”
“Dr. Cal,” as he was known by colleagues and patients alike, became a
pioneer in adult joint reconstruction in
the United States after studying under
Sir John Charnley, inventor of the first
hip implant. Dr. Calandruccio developed
procedures and implants that enhanced
patient care, including a triangular
clamp used to fuse the ankle joint.
Dr. Robert Tooms, who serves on
The Campbell Foundation’s board
of trustees and practiced with Dr.
Calandruccio at Campbell Clinic, said,
“Dr. Rocco Calandruccio was regarded
nationally and internationally as one
of our most outstanding orthopaedic
surgeons. He was an excellent clinician,
academician and researcher.”
Dr. Tooms worked with Dr.
Calandruccio for one year in the research lab at UT-Campbell Clinic prior
to beginning his residency in orthopaedic surgery. “Cal was responsible
in great measure for my obtaining a
residency at Campbell Clinic,” Dr.
Tooms said. “After I joined the Clinic’s staff,
we became close colleagues and good friends
over the years. He had quite an influence on
me. Orthopaedic surgery — and I personally
— will miss him very much.”
A graduate of Yale Medical School, Dr.
Calandruccio served as president of the
American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
in 1977. During his presidential address to
the group, Dr. Calandruccio emphasized the
importance of research in advancing the field.
“Research is the lifeline of orthopaedic
surgery,” he said. “Patient care is improved
by clinical observation and correlation as well
as by the refinement of surgical procedures,
but the giant steps are based on physiologic
and biologic observations and experiments.”

Dr. Marcus Stewart, sports medicine leader,
leaves a legacy of achievements and caring
Dr. Marcus Stewart, the last surviving Campbell
Clinic surgeon who studied under Dr. Willis C.
Campbell, died August 1, 2007, at the age of 96.
During his distinguished career, Dr. Stewart
founded the American Orthopaedic Society for
Sports Medicine and served as its president, served
on the U.S. Olympic Committee’s sports medicine
council, was orthopaedic surgeon for Ole Miss sports
teams for 20 years, and published numerous articles
on orthopaedic and sports medicine topics, including
his contributions to several editions of Campbell’s
Operative Orthopaedics.
He began his residency at Campbell Clinic in
1938 and retired from Campbell Clinic in 1981.
Dr. Stewart’s daughter, Dr. Jeanne Jemison, said,
“My father’s passion for teaching was the driving
force behind his desire to join the staff of the
Campbell Clinic. Teaching residents and medical
students energized his entire career at Campbell and
brought him joy in retirement through on-going
relationships with those he had taught and mentored.
The educational mission of The Campbell Foundation fosters the desire to promote the best in
orthopedics, which motivated my father and other
pioneers of the Campbell Clinic.”
“A positive attitude and a
cheerful countenance will often
relieve and cure a patient as
efficiently as your scalpel.”
— Dr. Marcus Stewart
During World War II, Dr. Stewart directed a large
Allied rehabilitation hospital in England and set new
standards for the rehabilitation of injured soldiers. He
was awarded the Army’s Legion of Merit for that work.
Athletic and an avid sportsman who hunted well
into his 90s, Dr. Stewart began each day with a 45minute exercise routine. He believed in the power of
good health and a positive attitude. “A positive attitude and a cheerful countenance will often relieve and
cure a patient as efficiently as your scalpel,” he said.
In his autobiography, One More Step, Dr. Stewart
wrote that regardless of one’s previous accomplishments, it is “always possible to take one more step
toward greater achievement and helping others.”
Proud of his association with Campbell Clinic,
Dr. Stewart once told a class of the Clinic’s graduating residents that “an immeasurable heritage of
honesty and integrity” was the greatest gift made by
the founders of Campbell Clinic.
Dr. Marcus Stewart, who trained under Dr. Willis Campbell and was a
Campbell Clinic surgeon for more than 40 years, founded the
American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine.
“The giants of orthopaedics who developed
Campbell Clinic were also giants of the human race,”
he said. “From them, residents learn and inherit
not just technical knowledge but a quality of life, of
tolerance, of pride, of justice, of self-respect and even
of reverence that so permeates their teaching that it
will stimulate and sustain you throughout life.”
Colleagues, patients and friends who
wish to honor Dr. Marcus Stewart’s lifetime
dedication to orthopaedic medicine may
do so by making a gift to an organization
Dr. Stewart supported: The Campbell
Foundation. To make a gift in Dr. Stewart’s
memory, contact the Development Office
of The Campbell Foundation at (901)

Late surgeon continues
to help patients through
his estate gift
The life of Dr. Robert Knight was tragically cut short
in an automobile accident in 1958. But his devotion
to orthopaedic medicine and orthopaedic patients lives
on, thanks to a gift to The Campbell Foundation that
Dr. Knight included in his will.
Dr. Knight, a Campbell Clinic surgeon from 1942
until his death, created a trust that provided income
for his wife during her lifetime. When Mrs. Angela
Knight Owen died earlier this year, the principal was
left to the Foundation.
A gifted surgeon, Dr. Robert Knight was one of
three physicians who staffed Campbell Clinic during
World War II, while most of the Clinic’s surgeons were
serving in military assignments. Dr. Knight worked
long days and weekends for more than three years,
until the war ended.
A tribute in The Campbell Journal after his death
described Dr. Knight as “kind, warm and personable”
New book in evolving field of
interventional spine includes
chapter by Campbell’s
Dr. Ashley Park
A Campbell Clinic physician who
specializes in non-operative
approaches to treating spinal pain
is among the contributors to a new
textbook designed to help doctors
evaluate spinal pain treatment
options less haphazardly.
Dr. Ashley Park, who joined
Campbell Clinic in 1998 as the clinic’s
first interventional spine physician,
wrote the chapter on lumbar
instability for Interventional Spine:
an algorithmic approach, published in
August 2007.

and said that he “combined high intelligence with strong
motivation, seemingly boundless energy and enthusiasm,
and a deep and thorough knowledge of the orthopaedic
literature, which was enviously admired by all.”
Dr. and Mrs. Knight were committed to The Campbell Foundation during his lifetime. Now Dr. Knight’s
estate gift will continue to support The Campbell Foundation’s mission of advancing orthopaedic research,
physician education, and community healthcare.
Dr. James Beaty, Chief of Staff of Campbell Clinic
and a member of the Foundation’s board of trustees,
said, “Dr. Knight’s generous gift is evidence of his
dedication to the mission of the Foundation. We hope
his estate gift will inspire others to create a legacy
supporting advancements in orthopaedic care through
a gift to The Campbell Foundation.”
Dr. Robert Knight
Editors and contributors to the
book, including Dr. Park, believe
that patients deserve the most
conservative care feasible, but the
alternatives must be wisely
considered and balanced by an
individual’s physician.
“Doctors in a wide variety of
specialties practice spine care,” Dr.
Park said. “Our goal is to provide
those physicians with something that
has been lacking, which is a step-wise
approach to evaluating diagnostic
and treatment interventions and
therapeutic alternatives.”
Dr. Park studied under the book’s
principal editor, Dr. Curtis Slipman,
during a residency at The Hospital of
the University of Pennsylvania.
“Dr. Slipman’s vision was to
publish a comprehensive evidencedbased approach on the diagnosis and
treatment of patients with spinal
pain, incorporating contributions
from top clinically-active interventional spine physicians,” Dr. Park
said. “Since interventional spine
Dr. Ashley Park
is an integral part of the spine
program at Campbell Clinic, one of
the foremost orthopaedic centers
in the world, the editors felt that
my input toward the topic of lumbar
instability would be insightful.”
Interventional, or non-surgical,
treatment for spinal pain is a
growing field. During the past 20
years, a number of studies have
indicated that non-operative
management of spine-related
problems may be preferable to
surgery for some patients.
“One aspect of non-surgical
treatment within the scope of an
interventional spine practice is the
use of diagnostic and therapeutic
spinal injection procedures
performed under x-ray guidance,”
Dr. Park said. “These injections are
valuable in diagnosing the specific
structure responsible for a patient’s
spinal pain and, in many cases,
used in conjunction with other nonsurgical treatment, are curative.”
Dr. Park contributed a chapter
on interventional spine treatment
options to the 11th edition of
Campbell’s Operative Orthopaedics,
which will be released in December
2007.
“Those of us who have
experience in an evolving field
such as interventional spine
have an obligation to share this
newfound knowledge with the rest
of the medical community for the
advancement of patient care,”
Dr. Park said.
