David P. Green MD

David P. Green, MD is best known as the editor of two widely used orthopaedic and hand surgery textbooks: 1) Rockwood and Green’s Fractures (now in its 7th edition) and 2) Green’s Operative Hand Surgery (now in its 6th edition). He has been teaching and practicing orthopaedics and hand surgery in San Antonio since 1970. He has a keen interest in history, and has published a book entitled Place Names of San Antonio, (now in its 3rd edition), a compilation of some 1000 mini-biographies of people for whom streets, schools, parks, libraries, businesses, and other places are named. A course on 20th century European history at Pomona College in 1958 sparked a life-long interest in the events and personalities of that dynamic period between the two World Wars, and his most recent book is Hitler’s Money Trail. How He Acquired It. How He Squandered It.
