Sir Robert Jones, 1st Baronet, KBE, CB, TD, FRCS (28 June 1857 – 14 January 1933) was a Welsh orthopaedic surgeon who helped to establish the modern specialty of orthopaedic surgery in Britain.[1]
He was an early proponent of the use of radiography in orthopaedics, and in 1902 described the eponymous Jones fracture.
