David’s Story
David has been an athlete his entire life, but when previous shoulder injuries threatened to end his love of tennis, he knew it was time to seek help. That’s when he found Crystal Clinic’s Salvatore Frangiamore, M.D., the only orthopaedic surgeon in Northeast Ohio and one of a select group of orthopaedic surgeons across the country who performs the Anika OVOMotionTM shoulder resurfacing procedure. Considered the athlete’s alternative to a traditional shoulder replacement, this “shoulder replacement without limits” has helped David get back on the court and in the gym with improved shoulder strength and range of motion. only nine weeks after surgery.
