Restoring Limbs and Livelihoods – Implants Plus Education: SIGN Fracture Care International
Description
We’re kicking off Season 7 with my interview with some of the key leaders at SIGN Fracture Care International – Sariah Khormaee, MD, PhD (CEO), David Shearer, MD (Vice President of the Board), and Dr. Faseeh Shahab, Assistant Professor at Shahab Orthopaedic and General Hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan. SIGN Fracture Care International is doing truly inspiring work around the world. They are a US-based (in Washington state) nonprofit that partners with local surgeons in low and middle income countries to bring life-changing fracture care to patients who might otherwise never walk again. Their IM nailing system, which has a unique interlocking instrumentation that doesn’t require fluoroscopy, is provided free to their surgeons. Since 1999, SIGN has trained and equipped thousands of surgeons with implants and instruments designed for hospitals that don’t have the resources many of us take for granted—helping restore mobility, dignity, and hope to millions of people.
