What Is Foot And Ankle Surgeon in Midtown East, NY?

This procedure corrects the painful bony bump at the base of the big toe. We focus on realigning the joint to relieve pain and improve foot mechanics, often using minimal incision techniques to reduce scarring and recovery time.

Surgical correction for hammertoes aims to straighten toes that have become bent or rigid. Depending on the severity, the procedure may involve releasing a tendon or removing a small piece of bone to restore proper toe alignment and relieve discomfort.

For patients with a ruptured or chronically inflamed Achilles tendon, surgery can reattach or repair the damaged tendon. This procedure is crucial for restoring strength and function, enabling a return to walking, running, and other physical activities.

When an ankle bone is broken, surgery may be necessary to realign the bone fragments and stabilize them with plates or screws. Proper surgical treatment of ankle fractures is essential for optimal healing and preventing long-term complications like arthritis.

This specialized surgery addresses complex issues like severe flatfoot, high arches, or damage from previous injuries. The goal is to rebuild the structure of the foot and ankle, improving alignment, stability, and overall function.

Athletes often require surgical intervention for persistent injuries like ligament tears, cartilage damage, or stress fractures. Our surgical approach focuses on durable repairs that facilitate a safe and efficient return to sport.

For patients with debilitating ankle arthritis, surgical options can provide significant pain relief. These procedures range from arthroscopic debridement (cleaning out the joint) to performing a total ankle replacement, which can preserve motion and improve quality of life.
