certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery practicing at
Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center (OFAC) in Falls Church and Arlington,

lower extremity trauma, and fractures of the ankle and foot
(calcaneus, talus, and Lisfranc injuries). He also helps patients with
post-traumatic reconstruction, midfoot and forefoot arthritis,

teaching by Georgetown University School of Medicine twice.

After completing his residency, Dr. Sanders went on to complete a
fellowship in foot and ankle surgery/lower extremity trauma and
reconstruction at the Florida Orthopaedic Institute in Tampa. He
received additional, specialized training for both surgical and
non-surgical treatments of foot and ankle injuries and diseases,
including total ankle arthroplasty. During both his residency and
fellowship, Dr. Sanders treated elite level professional, Olympic and
collegiate athletes.

Outside of his work at Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Center, Dr. Sanders is
an assistant professor at Georgetown University Medical Center in
