Local Podiatric Physician Chosen to Present at National Conference

BOARDMAN, Ohio (March 15, 2012) – Dr. Lawrence A. DiDomenico, managing partner at Ankle & Foot Care Centers, was among a panel of surgeons who presented about one of the fastest-growing procedures for addressing ankle arthritis at a national conference this month.

Dr. DiDomenico, a Canfield resident who practices out of Ankle & Foot Care Centers' Boardman, Youngstown and East Liverpool offices, was one of the first in the nation to perform total ankle replacement procedures. He was invited to speak about his experience at the Annual Scientific Conference of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS) in San Antonio, Texas.

The ACFAS conference was attended by 1,300 podiatric physicians and foot and ankle orthopedists from around the country.

"The Mahoning Valley is fortunate to have such a leader in his field and globally recognized podiatric physician as Dr. DiDomenico,” said Michael Vallas, practice administrator.

Dr. DiDomenico also presented on new orthobiologic treatments for stimulating bone growth during surgery called bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP), as well as treatment options for flatfoot and surgical techniques for bunion realignment.

Ankle & Foot Care Centers is the region’s largest podiatric care provider, with 16 physicians and surgeons serving patients at 19 local offices, located in Alliance, Austintown, Boardman (2), Campbell, Champion, Columbiana, East Liverpool, East Palestine, Greenville (Pa.), Howland, Lake Milton, Liberty, Niles, Poland, Salem, Struthers, Warren and Youngstown.
