The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) has announced the winners of its 2007 MORE Awards. The second annual awards program honors media efforts that further public understanding of musculoskeletal health-related issues and encourage healthy behaviors in the care of bones, joints, muscles and tendons. This distinguished group of journalists will receive their awards at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., held in conjunction with the National Orthopaedic Leadership Conference.

The winners represent print, broadcast and online outlets and include health and medical writers, producers and reporters. Entries were judged by a panel of orthopaedic surgeons and media experts.
