Miller and Petty had worked with several orthopaedic companies and thought they saw some things they could do differently, and better. They wanted to make a difference in the quality of care provided to patients suffering from injuries or arthritic disease. The Pettys and Dr. Miller made the first step toward realizing their vision by incorporating Exactech in 1985. Since that time, we have leveraged our founding principles to...
