From'grave diggers' to a 'Trauma System for Ireland', the history of Irish orthopaedics is a unique and fascinating story. This story has developed over decades and centuries, with many late and great surgeons and trainers playing major roles in developing our orthopaedic services nationally, as we know them today. The authors acknowledge that it would be wrong to think that a 1500-word review could provide an in-depth, yet comprehensive, discussion of all topics past and present of celebration, deliberation and further debate, related to orthopaedic surgery in Ireland. However, this article sought to provide a brief account of some of the key, landmark moments of orthopaedics over the last 3 centuries in Ireland, many of which are responsible for shaping the landscape of the outpatient rooms, orthopaedic wards and theatre suites, in which we provide high standard orthopaedic care to the people of our island today.
从“掘墓人”到“爱尔兰创伤系统”，爱尔兰骨科的历史是一个独特而引人入胜的故事。这个故事历经数十年乃至数百年发展而来，许多杰出的外科医生和培训师在全国范围内发展我们如今所知的骨科服务方面发挥了重要作用。作者承认，认为一篇1500字的综述能够对与爱尔兰骨科手术相关的所有过去和现在值得庆祝、思考及进一步辩论的话题进行深入且全面的讨论是错误的。然而，本文旨在简要介绍爱尔兰过去三个世纪骨科的一些关键、具有里程碑意义的时刻，其中许多时刻塑造了我们如今为岛上民众提供高标准骨科护理的门诊室、骨科病房和手术室的格局。
