Conditions We Treat
Foot and ankle conditions can affect every aspect of daily life — from walking and exercising to simply wearing comfortable shoes. At Dr. Fabio D'Angelo's practice, every diagnosis begins with a comprehensive evaluation to identify not only the source of pain, but the underlying cause of the problem.
Guided by the principles of the SPARE™ Method, treatment is always individualized. Whenever clinically appropriate, the goal is to preserve healthy anatomy, minimize surgical trauma, and restore natural alignment using advanced endoscopic and minimally invasive techniques.
Whether your condition is congenital, degenerative, sports-related, or the result of a previous surgery, Dr. D'Angelo offers highly specialized solutions tailored to your unique anatomy and lifestyle.
Bunions (Hallux Valgus)
A bunion is a progressive deformity in which the big toe gradually shifts toward the smaller toes, creating a painful prominence at the base of the joint. Left untreated, bunions can worsen over time, leading to pain, inflammation, difficulty wearing shoes, altered foot mechanics, and progressive deformity.

Tailor's Bunions (Bunionette)
A tailor's bunion is a painful prominence on the outside of the foot at the base of the little toe. It often causes irritation, swelling, shoe discomfort, and widening of the forefoot.

Hammer Toes
Hammer toes occur when one or more toes become permanently bent due to muscle and tendon imbalance. They may cause pain, corns, difficulty wearing shoes, and progressive stiffness if left untreated.

Morton's Neuroma
Morton's neuroma is a painful thickening of the nerve between the toes, most commonly between the third and fourth toes. Patients often experience burning pain, tingling, numbness, or the sensation of walking on a pebble.

Metatarsalgia
Metatarsalgia refers to pain beneath the ball of the foot, often caused by excessive pressure, deformity, or altered foot mechanics. Symptoms may worsen with walking, standing, or sporting activities.

Plantar Fasciitis & Heel Spurs
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain and may be associated with the development of a heel spur. Persistent symptoms can significantly affect walking and quality of life.

Flat Feet (Pes Planus)
Flat feet occur when the arch of the foot collapses, potentially causing pain, fatigue, instability, and altered walking mechanics. Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms and the underlying cause.

Arthritis of the Foot & Ankle
Arthritis causes progressive wear of the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced mobility. Treatment ranges from conservative management to advanced joint-preserving or reconstructive surgery.

Sports Injuries
Foot and ankle injuries are common in athletes and active individuals. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment help restore performance and reduce the risk of long-term complications.

Brachymetatarsia
Brachymetatarsia is a congenital condition in which one or more metatarsal bones are abnormally short, resulting in a shortened toe, altered foot mechanics, and cosmetic concerns.

Syndactyly
Syndactyly is a congenital condition in which two or more toes are joined together by skin or soft tissue. Surgical correction restores independent toe movement while improving comfort and appearance.

Previous Foot Surgery Problems
Persistent pain, recurrent deformity, stiffness, hardware complications, or dissatisfaction following previous foot surgery may require specialized evaluation and revision surgery. Dr. D'Angelo has extensive experience managing complex revision cases.
