The history of the clinic is closely connected with the development of pediatrics in the Czech lands and the establishment of the Children's Hospital in Prague. Post-war establishment II. orthopedic clinic of Charles University in 1945 in the premises of the former Children's Hospital resp. pediatric surgical clinic with an orthopedic specialization belonging to the German University, it starts operating an independent orthopedic clinic with 109 beds, 2 wards for children and 2 for adults under the leadership of prof. Hněvkovského. With the establishment of the Faculty of Pediatrics, Charles University in 1954, the clinic became a teaching base of orthopedics for both students of the Faculty of General Medicine and pediatricians. Gradually, however, she was permanently attached to the Faculty of Pediatrics / now the 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University /. After the relocation of most of the departments and clinics of this faculty to Motol, it remains a detached workplace for a long time, even in less suitable premises. Nevertheless, he was already at the workplace in the 70s, during the management of the clinic prof. Cinderella, joint replacement surgery started, knee replacement with a total endoprosthesis in 1978, even the first in the country. In 1983, a move to Motol finally took place, while the adult wards were temporarily abolished. Prof. Cinderella is replaced by prof. Kubát, progressive surgery is introduced - scoliosis, congenital and systemic defects, limb elongation, pediatric traumatology. The reopening of the part for adults takes place in 1984, again in Karlov nám. No. 1. The clinic subsequently organized the first orthopedic congress in its history in September 1984. Political changes at the end of 1 bring doc. Smetana, which enriches medical activities primarily with the development of surgery for children with DMO.
In 1995, the adult part moved to the temporary bed monoblock in Motol, and until 1998 the adult part of the clinic was waiting to be moved to the so-called "Blue Pavilion" - the Motol bed part for adults. Since the academic year 1999/2000, prof. Tomáš Trč, who was replaced in October 2021 by prof. Vojtech Havlas.
