There are two important events connected with Orthopaedics in Lublin and Lublin
District as well as with Lublin University.
The first event has to do with the founding of the Military Hospital in Lublin during the
first days of September 1939.
The second event deals with the founding of Orthopaedics for Lublin (as a Department
of Medical University) and the Lublin region by Professor Stanisław Piątkowski in 1954 (7 th
December 1954). Prof. Stanisław Piątkowski came from Poznań where he was a student of
Prof. Wiktor Dega. He arrived from Poznan to Lublin together with As. Prof. Józef Kamiński.
The Department for Adults was situated in the Military Hospital (Racławickie Avenue
23), the Department for Children in Staszica Street 11. On the 7 th of December 1954 the
first orthopaedic operation of club foot of a small child was performed in Lublin.
So, initially the Orthopaedic Department was operating in cooperation with the
Military Hospital for the first 10 years – till June 1964.
At the beginning the Faculty of Medicine was situated in the University of Maria
Skłodowska – Curie (decree of the Polish Committee of National Liberation of 23 rd of
October 1944). In 1950 Medical Academy as a separate institution was assigned. And on
the 23 rd of January 2008 its name was changed into Medical University, and it is the name
operating till now.
