The earthquake created one of the greatest needs for the assistance of the orthopaedic community in our lifetimes. Fortunately, it responded quickly, generously and efficiently, a fact which is documented in this issue of Orthopedics This Week. Within hours hundreds of orthopaedic surgeons, caregivers and device company employees volunteered to help and rushed to Haiti.
In the article, it was noted that Dr Scott Nelson was the first orthopaedic surgeon to start work in Haiti following the quake. In the photo above he is joined by SIGN’s Dr Lewis Zirkle on our right at the Hopital Adventiste d'Haiti.
