Dr. Matthew DeOrio specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of acute and chronic conditions of the foot and ankle including bones, cartilage, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. He evaluates patients of all ages and treats sprains and fractures, as well as chronic deformity and arthritis that contributes to pain in the foot and ankle. His practice is 50% clinical and 50% surgical. He can make recommendations on shoe wear and help determine when it is appropriate to use over the counter shoe inserts and bracing versus custom orthotic and bracing.
He has a special interest in ankle replacement surgery with extensive experience with many prostheses including the Agility, Salto Talaris, STAR, and Infinity implants. He currently uses the Vantage, INBONE, and INVISION prostheses for primary and revision ankle replacement surgery.
Common conditions that Dr. DeOrio sees in clinic include forefoot problems such as bunions, hammertoes,and neuromas. Midfoot injuries include Lisfranc sprains, fractures, and arthritis with associated bone spurring that can cause difficulty with shoewear. Hindfoot conditions are also common and include painful pes planus (flatfeet), posterior tibial, peroneal, and Achilles tendon problems, ankle instability, and posttraumatic arthritis, as well as inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid) and osteoarthritis.
Diabetes can have a significant impact on the foot and ankle due to alternation in blood flow and loss of protective sensation (neuropathy) that can in turn lead to skin breakdown and ulcers, as well as pain and deformity. Charcot arthropathy is a diabetic condition of the foot and ankle that can cause significant deformity and Dr. DeOrio can make recommendations on operative versus nonoperative treatment of these conditions.
After earning his medical degree from the University of South Florida, Dr. DeOrio completed his orthopaedic surgery residency at the Mayo Clinic and his foot and ankle fellowship at Duke University Medical Center.
Dr. DeOrio joined The Orthopaedic Center in Huntsville in 2008 and is fortunate to have a new foot and ankle partner, Dr. Brad Sabatini, who joined TOC in 2017.
Dr. DeOrio is board-certified in orthopaedic surgery and is a fellow of both the the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS).

Always engaging and knowledgeable. Spends time with you and listens to you.
Very friendly and knowledgeable physician. Explained everything to me.
Very up front with you. Explains procedures and recovery times.
My appointment was at 10:50. I was finally seen at 12:40. If a dr is running so far behind less than 3 hours after opening, he’s clearly overbooked. Also no apology or explanation of such a long delay was offered. Very n professional. I gave three stars only because he at least seemed intelligent regarding foot and ankle.
Great Doctor
Doctor seemed rushed. Not personable, as a patient I felt rushed to speak and stress my concerns. He was able to attend to my questions but, there were other questions that I wanted to asked. But did not get the opportunity because he began to record on his phone our visit. I was out of the room in less than 5 minutes. Sad because I have had two surgeries on same foot and this was my first visit to him since my surgeries. He did not perform the surgery so I really wanted him to take a close look at it as a second doctors( opinion) to make sure all was good. I left feeling a little unease.
I am pleased with my visit with Doctor DeOrio He found my problem and gave me a choice. Very helpful. Thanks
He is thorough, but he just talks fast.
Thorough - detailed explanations- answers all questions & personal.
Very knowledgeable and friendly. Gave great information on shoe inserts, stretches, and shoe types to help with my recovery. Very happy with the care received from Dr. DiOrio.
