1939年，纪念美国最古老的骨科医院——伤残医院（r&c）成立75周年的活动在纽约市的医院旧址举行。自1935年起担任总外科医生的菲利普·威尔逊（Philip D. Wilson）博士利用这一活动纪念该医院重新发挥其在全国的领导作用。1863年5月1日，当伤残医院第一次开门迎客时，医院的名字并不稀奇；它描述了治疗的患者类型。1940年，在威尔逊博士的指导下，管理委员会更名为特殊外科医院（HSS）。1941年，英国卷入了一场欧洲战争，威尔逊博士觉得美国有必要支持英国。他亲自组织了英国的美国医院，这是一个私人资助的志愿单位，帮助照顾伤员。在美国于1941年12月真正加入第二次世界大战之后，HSS迅速在各级组织了大量专业人员和辅助人员的支持，最终应征入伍。即使有这样的人员变动，医院在威尔逊博士的领导下继续运作。1945年战争结束后，威尔逊继续努力，进一步恢复HSS在肌肉骨骼医学和外科领域的领导地位。
In 1939, the 75th anniversary program marking the founding of the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled (R & C), the oldest orthopaedic hospital in the nation, was held at the hospital site in New York City. Dr. Philip D. Wilson, Surgeon-in-Chief since 1935, used this event to mark the return of the hospital to its leadership role in the country. When the Hospital for the Ruptured and Crippled first opened its doors on May 1, 1863, the name of the hospital was not unusual; it described the type of patients treated. In 1940, the Board of Managers with guidance from Dr. Wilson changed the name to the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS). In 1941, with Britain engaged in a European war, Dr. Wilson felt there was a need for the Americans to support the British. He personally organized theAmerican Hospital in Britain, a privately funded voluntary unit, to help care for the wounded. After the United States actually entered World War II in December 1941, HSS quickly organized support at all levels with a significant number of professional and auxiliary staff, eventually enlisting in the military. Even with such staff turnover, the hospital continued to function under Dr. Wilson's leadership. After the war ended in 1945, Wilson forged ahead to further restore HSS as a leader in musculoskeletal medicine and surgery.
