FRCS, FRACS,
Published Sources
Surgeon and Paediatrician
Born: 11 October 1930  Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.  Died: 12 September 2000.
Malcolm Benbow Menelaus was co-founder of The Spina Bifida Foundation of Victoria and a long-term member of the Royal Children's Hospital.

From the Spina Bifida website: "Menelaus was involved with orthopaedic management of children with Spina Bifida for over thirty years. He knew that to ensure proper management and co-ordinated support for the child and their family, the orthopaedic surgeon should be aware of the services and expertise offered by a wide range of medical and paramedical specialities. He was also convinced that by pooling the experiences of the Spina Bifida clinic at Royal Children’s Hospital and other international centres, a clearer picture of the best treatment of this complex problem would emerge; hence the association between Royal Children’s Hospital and the International Myelodysplasia Study Group.
