Tatarstan's achievements in orthopaedics and traumatology over 15 years

Abstract

The historic date marking the beginning of the organised struggle against orthopaedic deformities in Kazan, and later in the whole of Tatarstan, should be considered November 1, 1918, when the Kazan Provincial Social Security Department established the Orthopaedic Institute with a 40-bed hospital and prosthetic workshop. This institution was transferred to the Kazan Provincial Department of Health in 1920 and joined, as an Orthopaedic Clinic, the Clinical Institute, which was founded in the same year and later became the State Institute for the Advanced Studies of Doctors named after V.I. Lenin.
