An analysis of the archival documents of the USSR Ministry of Health and the scientific works of scientists indicates that, despite a slight decrease of the child military injuries level in large cities by 1948, in many regions further work was required to develop children's orthopedics. In this regard, the central health authorities in 1949 convened the All-Union Conference on Childhood Traumatism and Orthopedics and initiated a number of important measures for helping children with diseases and injuries of the musculoskeletal system, including the deployment of traumatology and orthopedics institutions, active identification of children, who needed the use of prosthetic and orthopedic products, the organization of sanatorium schools for children and adolescents who required long-term orthopedic treatment, the creation of conditions for their normal education and adaptation to work skills.childhood military traumatismchildren's traumatology and orthopedicspost-war period in the USSR (1946 1950)детский военный травматизмдетская травматология и ортопедияпослевоенный период в СССР (1946 1950 гг.)1.Гольдфельд А.
