Welcome to the ninth edition of OAA's online newsletter! We want to begin this issue by thanking all of our patients, referring physicians, and
especially our
hard-working staff for allowing us the honor of being named "Best Orthopaedic Services" 5 years in a row! 

As always, we hope you enjoy reading the latest news from OAA.

the AAOS has these reminders for how to make autumn tidying as easy, safe, and injury-free as possible.
