Sverdlov Apparatus

The Sverdlov apparatus is a medical device for the treatment of fractures and dislocations of bones, as well as for restoring joint mobility. It was invented in 1950 by Soviet orthopedist-traumatologist Yuri Moiseevich Sverdlov (1914-1978).

The operating principle of the device is based on creating smooth oscillatory movements in the affected joint. This allows you to stimulate bone tissue regeneration, restore joint mobility and muscle strength. Vibrations are created using an electric drive and transmitted through flexible rods to the injured area of ​​the body.

The Sverdlov apparatus is widely used to treat fractures of long tubular bones, hip and knee joints. It can significantly reduce the time of immobilization and speed up recovery. The device is easy to use and does not require constant supervision by medical staff.

Sverdlov's apparatus became widespread not only in the USSR, but also far beyond its borders. He made a significant contribution to the development of domestic and world traumatology. And currently it remains an effective method of treating injuries of the musculoskeletal system.

Yuri Mikhailovich Sverdlov was born on June 17, 1946. From childhood he was a truly amazing person. While still a child, Yuri often thought about what he wanted to become after graduating from school. And all these thoughts always came down to helping people. As a result, after receiving a school certificate, he entered the medical academy and began studying medicine, while simultaneously studying by correspondence at a medical institute. Thus, thanks to his diversified development, he was able to receive two higher educations at the same time.

Even during his studies, Yuri showed himself to be an extremely enthusiastic person, participating in the work of a scientific circle on anatomy. It was his diligence in studying the material and active participation that helped develop not only the talent of the young scientist, but also gave him self-confidence during the defense of his diploma projects. Thus, Yuri showed noticeable results and went to work at the city health center. Having successfully graduated from the Academy, he is now constantly occupied with the question of a radical change in his lifestyle and a career in his desired field. And again he turned out to be a real lucky one - after all, in November 1973, Yuri was appointed an assistant to an orthopedist in the treatment and prevention center of the city of Togliatti, where he was to manage the emergency room. But soon, he was promoted, appointed as a resident,
