1933年，纽约破裂和残废救济协会的董事会任命普通外科医生尤金·希尔豪斯·普尔（医学博士）为首席外科医生，这是破裂和残废医院（R & C）历史上的第二次。R & C（1940年更名为特殊外科医院），当时是该国最古老的骨科医院，正在失去全国领先的骨科中心的地位。R & C董事会委托普尔博士负责招募全国最好的整形外科医生成为下一任首席外科医生。菲利普D.来自波士顿马萨诸塞州总医院和哈佛医学院的医学博士威尔逊被选中，并同意接受这一挑战。1934年春天，他加入了破裂和残废医院的工作人员，担任外科主任，并在第二年取代普尔博士担任外科主任。当时正值经济大萧条时期，医院的日常运营增加了沉重的财政负担。威尔逊博士以清晰而勇敢的愿景重组了医院、员工职责、专业教育和患者护理。他建立了骨科奖学金，以支持有兴趣进行研究的年轻骨科医生，并协助他们开始他们的新做法。认识到治疗瘫痪和疝气正在成为独立的专业，他的第一个决定是将疝气科重组为普外科。他在欧洲的第一次世界大战经历帮助他发展了骨折，战争创伤和截肢领域的专业知识，为肌肉骨骼疾病提供了广泛的基础，这对他未来担任R & C领导者是有益的。
In 1933, for the second time in the history of the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled (R & C), a general surgeon, Eugene Hillhouse Pool, MD, was appointed Surgeon-in-Chief by the Board of Managers of the New York Society for the Relief of the Ruptured and Crippled. R & C (whose name was changed to the Hospital for Special Surgery in 1940), then the oldest orthopaedic hospital in the country, was losing ground as the leading orthopaedic center in the nation. The R & C Board charged Dr. Pool with the task of recruiting the nation's best orthopaedic surgeon to become the next Surgeon-in-Chief. Phillip D. Wilson, MD, from the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and the Harvard Medical School was selected and agreed to accept this challenge. He joined the staff of the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled in the spring of 1934 as Director of Surgery and replaced Dr. Pool as Surgeon-in-Chief the next year. It was the time of the Great Depression, which added a heavy financial toll to the daily operations of the hospital. With a clear and courageous vision, Dr. Wilson reorganized the hospital, its staff responsibilities, professional education and care of patients. He established orthopaedic fellowships to support young orthopaedic surgeons interested in conducting research and assisted them with the initiation of their new practices. Recognizing that the treatment of crippling conditions and hernia were becoming separate specialties, one of his first decisions was to restructure the Hernia Department to become the General Surgery Department. His World War I experiences in Europe helped develop his expertise in the fields of fractures, war trauma and amputations, providing a broad foundation in musculoskeletal diseases that was to be beneficial to him in his future role as the leader of R & C.
