The history of domestic medicine is rich in specialists from various fields of science, many of whom have made an invaluable contribution to its development. One of the significant founders of bone pathology of the 20th century is Tatyana Pavlovna Vinogradova, an outstanding specialist, excellent teacher and owner of civic courage. Despite the fact that the active work of the professor spread exclusively within the USSR, her name is widely known not only in our country, but also abroad.

Pedagogical activity
It is almost impossible to overestimate the significance of T. P. Vinogradova's practical and theoretical contribution to the history of Russian medicine. The professor was not only engaged in self-education, but also trained dozens of pathologists, who, under her supervision, mastered the diagnostic basics of orthopedics and traumatology in many cities of the CIS.
Tatyana Pavlovna enthusiastically shared with students and colleagues her knowledge gained as a result of the study of world scientific literature, as well as personal experience.
Education of colleagues was not limited only to advice, comments or remarks - the professor sought to leave a rich and educational legacy for future generations of doctors. So, T. P. Vinogradova collected and then demonstrated a unique museum collection of histological preparations for the main divisions of osteoarticular pathology.

Since 1969, she has been engaged in summarizing knowledge and experience in the specialization of bone pathology, publishing the first monograph. This is a book that is unique in its conception and has no analogues either in domestic or in world literature - simple in presentation, but at the same time informatively exhaustive.
