Ankle Replacement

Dr. Castro has been performing ankle replacement surgery since 1999. The majority of his experience has been using the Agility Total Ankle System manufactured by Depuy Orthopaedics. The Agility, designed by Dr. Frank Alvine was the first total ankle implant to obtain FDA approval, breaking the ground for ankle replacement in the US.  

Dr. Castro has been an instructor for Depuy and has trained many of the orthopaedic surgeons currently using this device.  He was also a member of the design team that developed the most recent version, the Agility LP released in 2005.

Dr. Castro has been an invited lecturer discussing ankle fusion and ankle replacement.  He has also authored several journal articles on this topic.
