Why Choose The LV Foot Surgeons for Foot and Ankle Surgery in Queens?

Choosing the right surgeon is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. While many healthcare providers treat foot pain, surgical treatment requires specialized training, experience, and precision.

At The LV Foot Surgeons, our surgeons focus exclusively on conditions affecting the foot and ankle. We combine years of surgical expertise with modern techniques to provide care that’s both effective and personalized.

Patients choose our practice because we offer:

Board-Certified Surgical Expertise

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Whenever appropriate, we utilize minimally invasive techniques that may help reduce:

• Surgical trauma
• Post-operative discomfort
• Scarring
• Recovery time

Our goal is always to provide the least invasive treatment capable of achieving the best long-term outcome.

Personalized Treatment Plans

No two feet—or patients—are alike.

Before recommending surgery, we carefully evaluate:

• Your diagnosis
• Imaging studies
• Medical history
• Activity level
• Occupation
• Lifestyle goals

Many patients improve without surgery, and we’ll always discuss conservative options first.

Comprehensive Care Under One Roof

Unlike practices that only perform surgery, we provide every stage of care, including:

• Diagnosis
• Imaging
• Conservative treatment
• Surgery
• Post-operative care
• Rehabilitation guidance
• Long-term follow-up

This continuity of care helps ensure the best possible outcome.

When Is Foot or Ankle Surgery Necessary?

Surgery is rarely the first treatment we recommend.

Many foot and ankle conditions improve with conservative care such as:

• Custom orthotics
• Physical therapy
• Bracing
• Anti-inflammatory medication
• Cortisone injections
• Activity modification
• Supportive footwear

However, surgery may become the best option when these treatments no longer provide relief or when delaying surgery could allow the condition to worsen.

You may be a candidate for foot and ankle surgery if you experience:

• Pain lasting longer than 3–6 months
• Difficulty walking or standing
• Progressive deformity
• Chronic ankle instability
• Recurrent injuries
• Tendon rupture
• Severe arthritis
• Fractures requiring stabilization
• Nerve compression
• Diabetic foot deformities
• Bone infections
• Wounds that fail to heal

Our surgeons carefully explain your diagnosis and review every treatment option before recommending surgery.

Conditions We Treat with Foot & Ankle Surgery

Our team performs surgery for a wide variety of foot and ankle conditions. Below are some of the most common problems we treat.

Bunion Surgery

Painful bunions can progressively worsen over time, causing difficulty wearing shoes and walking comfortably.

Depending on the severity of your deformity, we may recommend traditional bunion correction or advanced Nanoplasty® correction system designed to minimize soft tissue disruption.

Hammertoe Surgery

Rigid hammertoes can cause painful corns, shoe irritation, and joint deformity.

When conservative care no longer helps, surgical hammertoe correction can straighten the toe and improve comfort.

Bone Spur Surgery

Bone spurs can develop on the heel, top of the foot, ankle, or toes, leading to chronic pain, inflammation, and restricted movement.

When conservative treatment fails, Bone Spur Surgery may provide lasting relief.

Heel Pain & Plantar Fasciitis

Although most cases of plantar fasciitis improve without surgery, persistent heel pain may require procedures such as:

• Plantar fascia release
• Gastrocnemius recession
• Heel spur removal

Our goal is to relieve pain while preserving foot function.

Foot & Ankle Fractures

Broken bones require proper alignment to heal correctly.

Our surgeons treat:

• Metatarsal fractures
• Toe fractures
• Midfoot injuries
• Lisfranc injuries
• Ankle fractures
• Stress fractures requiring surgery

Prompt treatment helps reduce the risk of arthritis, deformity, and chronic pain.

Tendon & Ligament Injuries

Damaged tendons can make walking extremely difficult.

We perform surgery for:

• Achilles tendon tears
• Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
• Peroneal tendon injuries
• Chronic ankle instability
• Torn ankle ligaments

Our surgical techniques are designed to restore stability and improve long-term function.

Arthritis & Joint Degeneration

Advanced arthritis may lead to:

• Chronic pain
• Joint stiffness
• Loss of mobility
• Progressive deformity

For severe cases, surgical reconstruction or joint fusion may significantly improve quality of life.

Diabetic Foot Complications

Patients with diabetes face a higher risk of serious foot complications.

We provide surgical treatment for:

• Charcot foot
• Bone infections
• Non-healing wounds
• Severe deformities
• Limb preservation procedures

Our surgeons work closely with patients to help prevent amputations whenever possible.

Non-Surgical vs. Surgical Treatment

Not every patient requires surgery. In fact, conservative care is often the first step.
