| Desc | NEARLY HALF OF THE WORLD LIVES ON LESS THAN $8.30 PER DAY. PATIENTS ARE TOO POOR TO BUY THE IMPLANTS NEEDED, AND MOST HOSPITALS DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO PURCHASE THE IMPLANTS. WHEN A PERSON LIVING IN A LOW- OR MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRY (LMIC) BREAKS AN ARM OR LEG AND CANNOT AFFORD APPROPRIATE CARE, IT CAN EASILY SEND THEIR WHOLE FAMILY SPIRALING INTO POVERTY. WE DEVELOPED AN INNOVATIVE IMPLANT SYSTEM FOR TREATING PATIENTS IN LOW-RESOURCE HOSPITALS. THIS SYSTEM CAN BE USED WITHOUT EXPENSIVE X-RAY IMAGING OR ELECTRICITY. SIGN SURGERY TYPICALLY ENABLES A PATIENT WITH A FRACTURED BONE TO WALK IN 1 DAY, LEAVE THE HOSPITAL IN 1 WEEK, AND BE BACK AT WORK IN 1 MONTH. THE PATIENT AVOIDS POSSIBLE PERMANENT DISABILITY AND IS RETURNED TO MOBILITY. SEE SCHEDULE O ON HOW WE DISTRIBUTE APPROPRIATE ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNOLOGY.DISTRIBUTE APPROPRIATE ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNOLOGY:THE SIGN IM NAIL AND INTERLOCKING SCREW SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR USE IN HOSPITALS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES WHERE C-ARMS AND RELIABLE POWER ARE NOT AVAILABLE. SIGN ENGINEERS CONTINUALLY DEVELOP NEW ORTHOPAEDIC INSTRUMENTS AND IMPLANTS IN RESPONSE TO THE NEEDS DESCRIBED BY THE LOCAL SURGEONS. WE SUPPLY NEW SIGN PROGRAMS WITH THE SIGN IM NAIL SYSTEM, WHICH SURGEONS USE TO REPAIR SEVERE FRACTURES IN THE FEMUR, TIBIA, AND HUMERUS. ONCE A PROGRAM HAS DEMONSTRATED ITS ABILITY TO REPORT THEIR CASES, INCLUDING ADEQUATE FOLLOW-UP THAT CONFIRMS THEIR RESULTS COMPLY WITH OUR EXPECTATIONS, THEY BECOME ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE ADDITIONAL SIGN PRODUCTS, AS WELL AS IN-KIND DONATIONS RECEIVED FROM FOR-PROFIT ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANT COMPANIES.IN 2025, WE DISTRIBUTED 28,356 SIGN NAILS TO 52 COUNTRIES. OUR AIM IS TO ENABLE THE POOR TO GAIN ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE ORTHOPAEDIC SURGERY, WHICH MEANS THE MAJORITY OF OUR IMPLANTS ARE DONATED FREE OF CHARGE TO THE PATIENT.WE STARTED 22 NEW SIGN PROGRAMS IN 2025. THE BREAKDOWN WAS AS FOLLOWS: AFRICA: 16 PROGRAMS ASIA: 6 PROGRAMS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025, THE WORLD BANK INCOME CLASSIFICATIONS BY GNI FOR THE COUNTRIES WITH NEW SIGN PROGRAMS WERE AS FOLLOWS: LOW INCOME: 48% LOWER MIDDLE INCOME: 44% UPPER MIDDLE INCOME: 8%DISASTER AND CONFLICT RESPONSE:WE BELIEVE IN EQUALITY OF FRACTURE CARE FOR ALL, REGARDLESS OF GENDER, RELIGION, POLITICAL AFFILIATION, OR ANY OTHER IDENTITY. IN LATE JANUARY, ARMED REBELS SEIZED GOMA, THE LARGEST CITY IN EASTERN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO. WE HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION-IN BETWEEN INTERNET ROLLING BLACKOUTS-WITH THE TWO PROGRAM MANAGERS IN GOMA. TO ASSIST WITH THE INCREASED NUMBER OF TRAUMA PATIENTS, WE SENT AN ADDITIONAL SIGN SET AND 100 SIGN NAILS TO DRS. JOHN MUSUBAO AND ALFRED CHASUMBA.A SERIES OF TWO INTENSE EARTHQUAKES STRUCK THE MANDALAY REGION IN MYANMAR ON MARCH 28TH. TWO DAYS AFTER THE EARTHQUAKES, THE MYANMAR GOVERNMENT REPORTED 1644 DEATHS AND 3408 INJURIES. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT THE TWO HOSPITALS NEAR THE EPICENTERS WERE NOT ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY THE EARTHQUAKES AND WERE ABLE TO START TREATING INJURED PATIENTS WITH SIGN NAILS IMMEDIATELY. TO HELP SUPPORT THE SIGN PROGRAMS' EFFORTS IN TREATING INJURED PATIENTS, WE SENT 2 SIGN SETS, 200 SIGN NAILS, AND 3 LARGE EXTERNAL FIXATOR KITS. ON AUGUST 31ST, AFGHANISTAN EXPERIENCED A 6.0 EARTHQUAKE IN NURGAL DISTRICT, A REGION 102 MILES OUTSIDE OF KABUL. THE INITIAL EARTHQUAKE AND SUBSEQUENT AFTERSHOCKS INJURED 4,000 PEOPLE AND DAMAGED MULTIPLE HEALTH CENTERS IN THE AREA. TO ASSIST WITH THE PATIENT LOAD, WE SENT TWO NEW SIGN SETS, 373 SIGN NAILS, 8 LARGE EXTERNAL FIXATOR KITS, AND A LARGE FRAGMENT INSTRUMENT SET. | Desc |

| Desc | WE BUILD SUSTAINABLE ORTHOPAEDIC CAPACITY IN LMIC BY EDUCATING LOCAL SURGEONS TO CARE FOR PATIENTS IN THEIR HOME COMMUNITIES. FOR 26 YEARS, SIGN HAS BEEN WORKING ALONGSIDE SURGEONS IN LMIC, RAISING ORTHOPAEDIC KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL. WE NOW RELY ON SIGN SURGEON MENTORS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION TO NEW SURGEONS. ONCE NEW SURGEONS ARE TRAINED, THEY RECEIVE THEIR OWN STARTER SET OF THE SIGN IM NAIL SYSTEM WITH TRAINING MATERIALS INCLUDED. THE TRAINING MANUALS ARE AUGMENTED BY ONLINE MENTORSHIP VIA THE SIGN SURGICAL DATABASE (SSDB). SURGEONS ARE REQUIRED TO ENTER CASES INTO THE SSDB IN EXCHANGE FOR A FREE RESUPPLY OF SIGN NAILS. EACH CASE IS REVIEWED BY AN ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON FROM OUR BOARD OR EXPERIENCED SIGN SURGEON MENTORS. THEIR FEEDBACK ON EACH CASE IS SENT TO ALL ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS AT THAT HOSPITAL VIA EMAIL.WE PROVIDE ACCESS TO ORTHOPAEDIC TRAINING AND EDUCATION TO SURGEONS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES VIA FIVE PRIMARY CHANNELS:1. ONSITE VISITS BY LOCAL SURGEONS AND NORTH AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN SURGEONS. 2. EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS WITH SIGN HEADQUARTERS.3. DISCUSSION TOPICS AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE, THE HUB.4. REVIEW OF CASES SUBMITTED TO THE SIGN SURGICAL DATABASE BY SENIOR ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS AND SIGN BOARD MEMBERS. 5. REGIONAL SIGN AND TRAUMA CONFERENCES, AS WELL AS THE ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL ORTHOPAEDIC CONFERENCE HELD AT SIGN HEADQUARTERS.THE OBJECTIVES FOR ALL MODES OF TRAINING ARE: 1) ENSURE SIGN SURGEONS UNDERSTAND THE SURGICAL TECHNIQUE FOR THE SIGN PRODUCTS IN THEIR HOSPITAL; 2) PROVIDE TRAINING ON CURRENT AND RELEVANT ORTHOPAEDIC PRINCIPLES; AND 3) PROVIDE TRAINING IN ORTHOPAEDIC AND TRAUMA PROCEDURES FOR INJURIES SUCH AS OPEN WOUNDS, LIMB DEFORMITY, PEDIATRIC, AND PELVIC.EXPAND TRAINING AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES:THE ANNUAL SIGN CONFERENCE WAS HELD IN SEPTEMBER 2025 AT SIGN HEADQUARTERS IN RICHLAND, WASHINGTON. THIS CONFERENCE PROVIDED A COMBINATION OF DIDACTIC LECTURES ON FRACTURE MANAGEMENT, CASE STUDIES, SEVEN CADAVER LAB SESSIONS, AND A SPECIAL FULL-DAY SESSION ON THORACOLUMBAR SPINE.THE 2025 SIGN CONFERENCE FEATURED 96 SURGEONS FROM 21 COUNTRIES. THE FIRST TIME ATTENDEE ORIENTATION WAS ATTENDED BY 13 SURGEONS AND INCLUDED A TOUR OF THE SIGN HQ AND BREAKOUT SESSIONS TO FAMILIARIZE NEW ATTENDEES WITH OUR INSTRUMENTS AND IMPLANTS.THE BIOSKILLS LAB AND PROCEDURAL LEARNING CENTER, WHICH WAS COMPLETED IN EARLY 2022, CONTINUES TO BE A FOCAL POINT DURING THE SIGN CONFERENCE. THESE FACILITIES ALLOW CONFERENCE ATTENDEES TO EXPERIENCE HANDS-ON TRAINING FROM EXPERT CLINICAL EDUCATORS. THE LAB SESSIONS TEACH CRITICAL TECHNIQUES SUCH AS PELVIC FRACTURES, PROXIMAL FEMUR FRACTURES, ELBOW FRACTURES, ANKLE FRACTURES/FUSIONS, THORACIC/LUMBAR SPINE, AND TIBIAL PLATEAU FRACTURES. WE CONTINUE TO DEVELOP OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE INSTITUTE FOR GLOBAL ORTHOPAEDICS AND TRAUMATOLOGY (IGOT). IN 2025, IGOT HOSTED THEIR THREE-DAY SURGICAL MANAGEMENT AND RECONSTRUCTIVE TRAINING COURSE (SMART) COURSE IN SAN FRANCISCO AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THE SIGN CONFERENCE. THIS ALLOWED NEARLY ALL CONFERENCE ATTENDEES TO ATTEND AND RECEIVE ADDITIONAL CADAVER TRAINING IN FLAPS FOR SOFT TISSUE RECONSTRUCTION AND DEFORMITY CORRECTION. THE SMART COURSE INCLUDED A "REAL-LIFE" SURGICAL CASE SIMULATION, PROVIDING ATTENDEES WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPLY THE SKILLS THEY LEARNED OVER THE WEEK INTO PRACTICE. IGOT ALSO HELD A CLINICAL RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM FOCUSED ON CONDUCTING STUDIES TO ADDRESS CRITICAL TREATMENT QUESTIONS FACED BY THE ATTENDEES' SPECIFIC PATIENT POPULATIONS.IGOT ALSO PROVIDES REGIONAL TRAINING IN OTHER SURGICAL TECHNIQUES TO SIGN SURGEONS IN EAST AFRICA AND NEPAL.THE 2ND INTERNATIONAL SIGN CONFERENCE WAS HELD AT SHAHAB ORTHOPAEDIC HOSPITAL IN PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN IN MAY 2025. 54 AFGHANI AND PAKISTANI SURGEONS ATTENDED IN PERSON AND DOZENS MORE PARTICIPATED VIA TELECONFERENCE. MODELING THE FORMAT AFTER THE ANNUAL SIGN CONFERENCE IN RICHLAND, WA, DR. FASEEH SHAHAB ORGANIZED LOCAL SURGEONS TO BE THE PRIMARY FACULTY, PROVIDING LECTURES THAT HIGHLIGHTED THEIR EXPERTISE, RESEARCH, AND EXPERIENCE.DR. DAVID SHEARER, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE SIGN BOARD, TRAVELED AND PRESENTED AT THE CONFERENCE IN PERSON. IN ADDITION, EXPERT SURGEONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD PRESENTED VIA ZOOM, INCLUDING DR. LEWIS ZIRKLE, SIGN PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER, AND DR. AUNG THEIN HTAY FROM MYANMAR, DR. ISMAIL WARDAK FROM AFGHANISTAN, AND DR. EMEKA IZUAGBA FROM NIGERIA.SIGN AND IGOT PARTNERED WITH THE MUHIMBILI ORTHOPAEDIC INSTITUTE TO HOLD THE 10TH ANNUAL TANZANIA SMART COURSE IN JUNE 2025. OVER 140 SURGEONS ATTENDED THE COURSE FOCUSING ON A MIX OF DIDACTIC LECTURES AND DEMONSTRATIONS FOR ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEONS AND RESIDENTS. THIS YEAR'S COURSE FEATURED SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE SIGN CLINICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE AS FACULTY: DR. BILLY HAONGA (TANZANIA), DR. FASEEH SHAHAB (PAKISTAN), DR. EMEKA IZUAGBA (NIGERIA), AND DR.

OUR IT DEPARTMENT HAS IMPROVED THE STUDIES AND RESEARCH TOOLS ON THE DATABASE TO ACCOMMODATE USER NEEDS AND UPDATED THE BACK-END FRAMEWORK OF THE DATABASE TO IMPROVE OVERALL EFFICIENCY.OUR TRAVELING SET PROGRAM MODEL WAS A CONTINUED SUCCESS IN ETHIOPIA, TANZANIA, AND GHANA. IN THIS MODEL, THE MENTOR SURGEON MANAGING THE SET IDENTIFIES A HOSPITAL THEY BELIEVE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO SERVE MANY PATIENTS. THE MENTOR SURGEON THEN TRAVELS TO THE HOSPITAL AND TRAINS THE SURGEONS IN THE SIGN TECHNIQUE AND DATABASE REPORTING. AFTER THE TRAINING IS COMPLETED, THE SET IS STATIONED AT THE HOSPITAL FOR THREE MONTHS. IF THE HOSPITAL REPORTS AT LEAST 25 CASES WITHIN THE THREE-MONTH PERIOD, THEY ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY TO START THEIR OWN SIGN PROGRAM. WE STARTED 4 NEW PROGRAMS IN TANZANIA VIA THE TRAVELING SETS IN 2025. BASED ON THE SUCCESS OF THE PREVIOUS TRAVELING SETS, WE HAVE ADDED NEW TRAVELING SET PROGRAMS IN TANZANIA AND THE GAMBIA. | Desc |

THE MEDICAL DEVICES WILL BE DONATED TO HOSPITALS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES TO SUPPLEMENT THE ORGANIZATION'S CURRENT PROGRAM. DUE TO THE EXCEPTIONAL SIZE RELATIVE TO OUR TYPICAL ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS, INCLUSION OF THE IN-KIND DONATIONS WOULD SEVERELY DISTORT THE ORGANIZATION'S PUBLIC SUPPORT CALCULATION FOR THE 5-YEAR PERIOD. |

IN IMPLEMENTING ITS VISION, SIGN EMPOWERS SURGEONS, IMPLANTS HOPE AND RESTORES THE LIVES OF THE INJURED POOR AROUND THE WORLD. SIGN SURGERY ENABLES PEOPLE WITH SEVERELY BROKEN BONES TO WALK AND RETURN HOME WITHIN ONE WEEK OF SURGERY AND RETURN TO NORMAL FUNCTION WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. SIGN'S MISSION IS TO GIVE THE INJURED POOR ACCESS TO FRACTURE SURGERY BY DONATING ORTHOPAEDIC EDUCATION AND IMPLANT SYSTEMS TO SURGEONS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. SIGN BUILDS SUSTAINABLE ORTHOPAEDIC CAPACITY IN LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES (LMIC) BY EDUCATING LOCAL SURGEONS TO CARE FOR AND TREAT PATIENTS IN THEIR HOME COMMUNITIES. SIGN EQUIPS THE SURGEONS WITH THE SKILLS AND TOOLS THEY NEED, ENABLING THEM TO PROVIDE ONGOING CARE AND SUPPORT TO THEIR PATIENTS. THIS EDUCATION IS AUGMENTED THROUGH THE PROVISION OF A SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY OF ORTHOPAEDIC IMPLANTS AND INSTRUMENTS DESIGNED FOR USE IN LOW-RESOURCE HOSPITAL CONDITIONS. BY EMPOWERING SURGEONS IN LMIC, THESE SURGEONS ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE EQUITABLE RESULTS IN THE TREATMENT THEY PROVIDE TO PATIENTS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES. SIGN DESIGNS AND MANUFACTURES THE SIGN IM NAIL SYSTEM WHICH IS DESIGNED FOR USE IN AUSTERE OPERATING ROOM CONDITIONS. SIGN FRACTURE CARE INTERNATIONAL IS REGISTERED WITH THE UNITED STATES FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA). SIGN MANUFACTURES FINISHED MEDICAL DEVICES IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS, FDA QUALITY SYSTEM REGULATION. SIGN MAINTAINS A QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT IS CERTIFIED TO BE COMPLIANT WITH ISO 13485:2016. ADDITIONALLY, SIGN DISTRIBUTES IN-KIND DONATIONS OF PRODUCTS NOT MANUFACTURED BY SIGN TO SOME OF THE BUSIER PROGRAMS. ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO), THE EPIDEMIC OF INJURIES CAUSED BY ROAD TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, WORK INJURIES, AND CONFLICTS AFFECTS 20 TO 50 MILLION PEOPLE EVERY YEAR. NINETY PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE INJURED LIVE IN LMIC WHERE ACCESS TO ADEQUATE CARE IS LIMITED. BY EQUIPPING LOCAL SURGEONS WITH THE SKILLS AND TOOLS THEY NEED, SIGN ENABLES THEM TO PROVIDE ONGOING CARE AND SUPPORT TO THEIR PATIENTS. THIS EMPOWERMENT UPLIFTS RECIPIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, ENABLING THEM TO BREAK FREE FROM THE CYCLE OF POVERTY. THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 7,000 SURGEONS IN MORE THAN 410 HOSPITALS IN 57 LMIC WHICH HAVE BENEFITED FROM SIGN EDUCATION AND THE PROVISION OF IMPLANTS AND INSTRUMENTS. WITH MORE THAN 400,000 SURGERIES TO DATE, AND WITH AN AVERAGE FAMILY SIZE OF FIVE, THIS MEANS SIGN HAS TOUCHED AND IMPROVED THE LIVES OF OVER 2 MILLION PEOPLE. SIGN ALSO RESPONDS TO DISASTERS AND CONFLICTS IN LOCATIONS WHERE SIGN HAS EXISTING PROGRAMS OR WHERE SIGN PROGRAMS NEED TO BE DEVELOPED. SINCE ELECTRICITY AND OTHER RESOURCES TYPICALLY FOUND IN OPERATING ROOMS AREN'T NEEDED TO PERFORM SIGN SURGERY, IT IS AN EFFECTIVE MEANS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PERMANENT DISABILITIES FOR INJURED PEOPLE FOLLOWING A NATURAL DISASTER OR CONFLICT. |
