Some of the most illustrious clinicians and scientists of those times gathered in Bologna to discuss the progress of orthopaedic science, thus contributing to highlight the relevance of this discipline in the medical field. Italian surgeon Vittorio Putti was the Congress Chairman and his words, together with some original pictures from his 1936 photo gallery, are shown to celebrate appropriately a prestigious moment in the history of SICOT.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
