SIGN PROGRAMS
Building orthopaedic capacity around the world
Hello, thank you for visiting our SIGN Programs Page! As we enter into 2025, we are modifying how our country pages look. Our team is currently in the process of adding full color maps to individual country pages. For now, you will see a mix of bulleted lists or maps, depending on which country you click. Please know we are working on this project, and we appreciate your patience as we make this transition. Thank you!
We partner with hospitals and surgeons in low- and middle-income countries to provide orthopaedic training, instrument sets, and an ongoing supply of implants. We require SIGN Surgeons to report their patient cases through the SIGN Surgical Database.
By studying reported patient cases, SIGN is able to continuously improve and adapt tools and techniques to provide better results.
