Achievements of paediatric orthopaedics in the 75-year history of the Polish Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology.
The authors are presenting the achievements of polish child orthopedics. They are looking for the roots of this in the works of Jan Strus, L.K. I JzS. The true beginning of this subspecialization they find in 1913, when two orthopedic centers developed in Poland paralelly: Poznan orthopedic hospital in memorial of BSG and Warsaw orthopedic hospital "Omega". Further in the work the authors present the periods and paths of development of polish child orthopedics based on the scientific experience and organization of such people as profs: Ireneusz Wierzejewski, Wiktor Dega, Adam Gruca, Marian Garlicki and Marian Koszla. At the end they discuss the activity of polish orthopedists in international scientific societies such as: AACP, EPOS, POSNA i ASAMI.
