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).

Have been in pain for one year and 3 months. Had 2 opposite opinions and he was my third. No operation needed and one shot later pain free Thank God and Dr.DeOrio
I had to wait a long while but I understand that they were very busy.
My appointment was at 9:30 and I was called back at exactly 9:30. Everyone that I had contact with were very kind, considerate and professional.
Best experience I’ve had with a doc ever. He was to the point. Answered all my weird questions and put me at ease with what to expect.
Dr.DeOrio was very thorough, friendly, and professional. Has a very bubbly personality especially when I was joking about my girlfriend. I would recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic services. .Dr. T
After nearly three months of being misdiagnosed with a sprain and experiencing no real improvement, I was finally referred to an orthopedic surgeon. During today’s visit, I received the most thorough and validating care I’ve had since my injury. The surgeon took the time to review my MRI and confirmed that I have complete ligament tears—something the previous clinic failed. This visit was informative and confirmed what I’ve been feeling all along: that this injury was more serious than I was initially told. I now have a clear diagnosis and a plan for surgery and recovery. Compared to the lack of progress and concern shown over the last three months, today’s visit finally gave me clarity and a sense of direction. It’s strange to say I can’t wait to have this surgery!
GOOD SERVICE!!!
He is fantastic. He was recommended to me by a friend, and I highly recommend him to everyone that needs foot/ankle care.
Very happy with Dr DeOrio. Provided the info that I needed to know.
Dr. Deorio and his PAs, Melissa and Madelyn, are wonderful! Surgery went great. Very knowledgeable, skillful, and compassionate.
