SOSI'S Foot and Ankle Experts
Did you know? The feet and ankles form one of the most intricate skeletal systems in the human body, made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles and ligaments working together to provide flexibility and stability. At SOSI, our board-certified surgeons are committed to staying at the forefront of orthopaedic care through ongoing education and innovation. Dr. Miranda, SOSI's foot and ankle physician, utilizes non-surgical treatments whenever possible and is highly skilled in arthroscopic, minimally invasive, and open surgical techniques.
Dr. Alejandro Miranda completed a foot and ankle fellowship at the prestigious University of Pennsylvania under Dr. Keith Wapner, former president of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society. During his fellowship, he gained expertise in Achilles tendon reconstruction, ankle replacement surgery, ankle ligament repair, and other advanced techniques.
“I chose a foot and ankle fellowship because it was an area that was relatively underserved and greatly in need of specialists. Foot and ankle care allows you to treat a wide range of problems affecting all age groups and patient populations—from children to working adults to elite athletes,” Dr. Miranda says. “You can have a significant impact on a person’s life. Whether it's a patient with complications from diabetes mellitus or someone with ankle arthritis considering ankle replacement, both are seeking to preserve their quality of life.”
