This paper offers some interesting biographic information on the two men from whom the Knight-Taylor spinal orthosis takes its name. James Knight and Charles Taylor were two orthopedists from New York City who were interested in spinal care. They prescribed and fashioned their distinctive braces, aspects of which were combined by others, thus linking these two men in orthopedic hyphenated history.
