Dr Caronis' greatest areas of interest are foot and ankle problems, fractures, worker's compensation injuries and general orthopaedics. In addition to completing a rigorous orthopaedic surgery residency, he received subspecialty training in the area of reconstructive surgery for complex foot and ankle problems. These challenges can include arthritis, deformities, chronic pain, diabetic foot deformities, flat feet, bunions, and neuromas. He cares for children's foot problems, including club feet and intoeing. He also cares for many sports related foot and ankle problems including heel pain, ankle instability, sprains, and tendon injuries using the most modern techniques, including ankle arthroscopy. Dr. Caronis has a great interest in total ankle replacement, and recently completed training in using the new InBone total ankle replacement.
Another great interest of Dr. Caronis' is the treatment of fractures. He is often able to treat many of these without surgery, when he uses various casts or braces. When necessary he is able to repair fractures using the most current surgical techniques and methods, using plates, rods, screws, external fixators, and bone stimulators.
Dr Caronis enjoys performing arthroscopic procedures of the knee on a frequent basis.
