All are FDA-approved for use in the United States. Ankle replacement offers an option to patients with advanced ankle arthritis. The most common types of arthritis affecting the ankle are osteoarthritis (degenerative), post-traumatic arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis (inflammatory). Patients in the past were only offered a fusion operation, which led to a stiff ankle and altered gait. With advanced designs, ankle replacement has become more popular-- with studies showing favorable results compared to fusion. Dr. Sorrento will determine who is an appropriate candidate based on a clinical exam and x-rays.

Dr. Sorrento has taken care of me for my injury to my leg. He has provided excellent care to me while I was under his care.
My ankle replacement changed my life and I am so grateful for the successful surgery and for Dr. sorrento's expertise.
Informative, caring, and attentive to needs.
Dr Sorrento was thorough with a very patient nature. I would recommend him to go to for family or friends. Really felt great and relaxed with my entire visit. Thank you Dr Sorrento
Fixed my ugly toe and tried to be as gentle as possible.
Very informative and took the time to explain everything to me.
very professional and knowledgable
I really like EVERYONE I had to deal with at OAA. My only real complaint is that there are no evening appointments and I always have to take off work to attend my appointment. Not all of us get paid time off. If I don't work I don't get paid!
When he entered the room he shook my hand never introduced himself. He seemed as if he couldn’t be bothered. When he left the room he never said what the problem was with my foot. Just ordered a boot and said see you in2 weeks. Why come back if I don’t know what’s wrong. Why bother.
