Orthopaedic Surgeons Launch National Campaign to Stop Distracted Driving

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) today announce their members' commitment to end the distracted driving problem in America. This national initiative, made possible, in part, with support from the Auto Alliance, encourages drivers to "decide to drive" and includes a new multimedia public service advertising (PSA) campaign, interactive Web site, school curriculum, print public service poster contest and materials to help surgeons talk to all their patients about distracted driving.

Featured in this video: Dr. Daniel J. Berry, president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and crash victim Aaron Brookens.
