Silverstone Podiatry offers specialized hammertoe surgery for patients in NYC & Staten Island seeking relief from persistent foot pain. When conservative measures like footwear changes fail to correct abnormal toe bends, surgical intervention can restore proper alignment. Our team focuses on returning you to an active lifestyle through customized podiatric care.
This procedure addresses a deformity where the middle joint of the toe curves upward due to muscle instability or structural abnormalities. The surgery aims to realign the toe and alleviate friction caused by the joint rubbing against footwear. By straightening the affected digit, surgeons can resolve the underlying cause of pain and secondary issues like corns.

During your first visit, a specialist will examine your foot and discuss your specific lifestyle goals. This collaborative approach ensures that your concerns are heard and that the surgical plan aligns with your personal health needs.
We utilize digital X-rays to obtain immediate, high-resolution images of the bones and joints in your feet. These scans allow for a precise diagnosis and help in planning the most effective surgical approach for your unique anatomy.
Based on your diagnosis, we will determine whether a traditional or minimally invasive approach is appropriate for your condition. Every treatment plan is tailored to the severity of the bend and your overall foot structure.
The surgery is performed to release tension in the tendons or realign the bone, allowing the toe to lay flat. Our surgical team utilizes modern techniques to focus on efficient recovery and lasting results.
Patients with fixed toe deformities that do not respond to wider footwear.
Individuals experiencing chronic pain that limits daily walking or physical activity.
Those with severe corns or calluses caused by friction on the bent joint.
Patients seeking a permanent solution for muscle instability in the secondary toes.
Surgical correction addresses the root cause of the deformity rather than just managing the symptoms. This results in a significant reduction in discomfort during movement and while wearing standard shoes.
Straightening the toe helps restore the natural balance of the foot muscles. This improvement allows for a more stable gait and easier participation in exercise or athletic activities.
After the joint is realigned, patients often find they can comfortably wear a wider variety of shoe styles. The removal of the abnormal bend eliminates the painful rubbing associated with narrow toe boxes.
By lowering the height of the toe joint, the procedure prevents the formation of painful corns and calluses. This protects the skin from chronic friction and improves the overall health of the foot.
Bunion correction for adjacent toe alignment.
Custom orthotic therapy for post-surgical support.
Minimally invasive foot surgery for faster healing.
Diagnostic ultrasound for soft tissue evaluation.
