Webinar: The Journey of the SIGN Nail

February 12, 2019 By Curtis Cosby

Dr. Zirkle graduated from Duke University Medical School and began orthopedic training at Duke. He was drafted by the U.S. Army and sent to Vietnam from 1968 to 1969. Dr. Zirkle finished his training in the U.S. Army and at Shriners Hospitals for Crippled Children in Los Angeles. He practiced in Richland, Washington, from 1973 to 2006, and left to devote his full attention to SIGN Fracture Care International, the non-profit organization he founded in 1999. SIGN Fracture Care International has performed more than 240,000 surgeries for poor patients throughout the developing world.

    Excellent lecture and presentation. You ought to have him back. Would like to hear more about radial/ulnar fractures and to include hand fractures. Also touch on open fractures and their wound care. I liked the slides and his method of presentation. I did learn something today, while on the “journey of orthopedic nails”. Thank you.
