Four years later he won the bronze medal in the shot put contest and finished sixth in the discus throw event at the 1934 British Empire Games.
Pridie was an orthopaedic surgeon. He studied at the University of Bristol. With a Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons of England he visited Böhler in Vienna, Watson-Jones in Liverpool and Girdlestone in Oxford. Twenty-eight years old he became a fracture surgeon at Bristol Royal Infirmary. He developed several devices for fracture treatment and was an eminent surgeon. Pridie is known for a particular cartilage repair technique where repair by fibrocartilage formation is stimulated by drilling small holes into the subchondral bone plate after surgical debridement of cartilage defects, known as the Pridie drilling technique. He died of a heart attack in 1963.[1][2]
