What is Podiatric Surgery?
Podiatric surgery is a specialized field that focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the foot, ankle, and lower extremities. This can include anything from bunions and hammertoes to complex fractures and tendon injuries. Many foot and ankle conditions can be treated through non-invasive methods, but when these fail or when conditions are severe, surgery becomes a necessary option.
At **Foot and Ankle Specialist Long Island**, we specialize in various podiatric surgeries designed to correct structural abnormalities, relieve pain, and restore mobility. If you're dealing with chronic foot or ankle pain, or if an injury hasn't healed properly, our expert surgeons are here to offer advanced surgical solutions.

Common Podiatric Conditions Requiring Surgery
There are several conditions where podiatric surgery may be recommended. Some of the most common issues we treat at **Foot and Ankle Specialist Long Island** include:
Bunions
Bunions occur when the big toe shifts toward the smaller toes, causing a protruding bump at the base of the big toe. Over time, this can lead to pain, swelling, and difficulty wearing shoes. Surgical correction involves realigning the bones in the foot to restore proper structure and relieve discomfort. At **Foot and Ankle Specialist Long Island**, our surgeons offer minimally invasive bunion surgery options that help patients recover faster and with less scarring.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a deformity where one or more of the toes become bent at the middle joint, causing pain and difficulty in movement. In severe cases, surgery may be needed to realign the toe and alleviate pain. Our specialists can assess the severity of your hammertoe and recommend the appropriate surgical treatment.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, resulting from inflammation of the tissue along the bottom of your foot. While non-surgical treatments like physical therapy and orthotics can help, surgery may be necessary for chronic, unrelenting pain. Surgery involves releasing the tension on the plantar fascia to provide relief.
Achilles Tendon Injuries
The Achilles tendon connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and plays a crucial role in walking, running, and jumping. Achilles tendon injuries, including ruptures, can be incredibly painful and debilitating. Surgical repair is often required for significant injuries, and our podiatric surgeons at **Foot and Ankle Specialist Long Island** have extensive experience in performing these complex procedures.
Foot and Ankle Fractures
Fractures in the foot and ankle are common injuries that often require surgical intervention to ensure proper healing and alignment. Our skilled surgeons offer advanced techniques to repair fractures, ensuring the bones heal correctly and minimizing the risk of long-term complications.
Flatfoot Reconstruction
Flatfoot occurs when the arch of the foot collapses, leading to pain, instability, and difficulty walking. In severe cases, flatfoot reconstruction surgery may be necessary to restore the foot's normal shape and function. This procedure involves repairing ligaments, realigning bones, and sometimes fusing joints to stabilize the foot.
At **Foot and Ankle Specialist Long Island**, we tailor each surgical plan to meet the unique needs of our patients. Whether you're suffering from one of these common conditions or a more complex issue, our team is here to help you get back to living pain-free.
When to Consider Podiatric Surgery
Podiatric surgery is typically recommended when conservative treatments have failed, and your quality of life is being impacted by foot or ankle pain or deformities. Some signs that you may need to consider surgery include:
- Persistent pain that interferes with daily activities
- Difficulty walking or wearing shoes
- Recurring injuries or deformities
- Chronic swelling or inflammation that doesn't respond to treatment
- Structural abnormalities that worsen over time
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's essential to consult a qualified podiatric surgeon to discuss your options. At **Foot and Ankle Specialist Long Island**, we provide comprehensive evaluations to determine the best course of action for each patient.

The Benefits of Podiatric Surgery
Choosing to undergo podiatric surgery can be a life-changing decision, offering numerous benefits that can significantly improve your well-being. Some of the key advantages of podiatric surgery include:
Pain Relief
One of the primary goals of podiatric surgery is to alleviate chronic pain caused by foot and ankle conditions. By addressing the root cause of your discomfort, surgery can provide long-term relief and allow you to return to your normal activities.
Improved Mobility
Many foot and ankle conditions, such as bunions or flatfoot, can limit your ability to move freely. After surgery, patients often experience improved mobility and flexibility, allowing them to walk, run, and engage in physical activities without pain or difficulty.
Enhanced Quality of Life
Living with chronic foot or ankle pain can take a toll on your physical and mental health. By resolving these issues through surgery, patients often report a significant improvement in their overall quality of life, including increased confidence and better mental health.
Long-Term Results
While non-surgical treatments may offer temporary relief, surgery provides long-lasting solutions for many foot and ankle conditions. With proper post-surgical care and rehabilitation, patients can enjoy years of pain-free living and improved foot function.
At **Foot and Ankle Specialist Long Island**, we believe in providing personalized care that prioritizes your comfort and recovery. Our experienced surgeons utilize the latest techniques and technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
