A research team led by MOR shoulder surgeons Bernard R. Bach, Jr., MD, and Anthony A. Romeo, MD, was recognized by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) for Best Scientific Exhibit in the shoulder/elbow category. The exhibit was presented at the 2010 AAOS annual meeting, held March 9-13 in New Orleans.

The study, entitled "Recurrent Shoulder Instability: Current Concepts for Evaluation and Management of Glenoid Bone Loss" was chosen over seven competing entries. In addition to Dr. Bach and Dr. Romeo, members of the research team include: Neil S. Ghodadra, MD; Robert C. Grumet, MD; Timothy S. Mologne, MD; and LCDR Matthew T. Provencher, MD MC USN.

A Scientific Exhibit graphically illustrates a study or a complex procedure. It differentiates itself from a poster presentation in the amount of material that is presented and uses audiovisual, interactive demonstration, or some other type of enhancement in its presentation.

With more than 35,000 members, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, (www.aaos.org) or (www.orthoinfo.org) is the premier not-for-profit organization that provides education programs for orthopaedic surgeons and allied health professionals, champions the interests of patients and advances the highest quality of musculoskeletal health. Orthopaedic surgeons and the academy are the authoritative sources of information for patients and the general public on musculoskeletal conditions, treatments and related issues. An advocate for improved care, the academy is participating in the Bone and Joint Decade (www.usbjd.org)—the global initiative in the years 2002-2011—to raise awareness of musculoskeletal health, stimulate research and improve people's quality of life.
