CEO Francis Phillips New Shoulder Implant Provides a New Lease on Life and The Links

Francis Phillips received a new shoulder implant that not only gave him a new lease on life, but his golf game couldn’t be better! For six years Francis lived with the severe pain caused by arthritis in his left shoulder. He finally made the decision to see Dr. James Cahill who diagnosed him with Osteoarthritis and bone spurs in his shoulder joint. A complete shoulder replacement was required.

Interestingly, Dr. Cahill chose a Styker implant. Styker is not just one of our oldest customers, but actually our very first customer back when they known as Howmedica in 1972. Francis went into his surgery with complete peace of mind, knowing he had one of the best surgeons in the country and an implant product from one of the world’s best OEM’s.

As you can imagine, the surgery was a great success and after only four months of rehabilitation Francis was playing golf again and his game is better than ever!

While the new shoulder has given Francis a pain free life, this experience reminded him about how important the work we do is and how it improves the quality of life for people all over the world.
