Howie Que, DPM, a podiatric surgeon in Chula Vista's Medical Center Drive corridor, earned his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine from the California School of Podiatric Medicine in 2016 and completed a surgical residency at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. His sport-injury caseload—including lateral ankle instability repair and Achilles tendon reconstruction—generates musculoskeletal co-management referrals with chiropractic providers such as Kohler Chiropractic for patients whose biomechanical imbalances extend above the ankle joint. Certified by the National Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners and a member of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, he holds privileges at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, Scripps Mercy Hospital, and Paradise Valley Hospital. His Lapifuse bunion correction technique uses nitinol staple fixation to achieve first-metatarsal realignment with earlier weight-bearing timelines than traditional screw-fixation methods. Post-operative return-to-play protocols for athletes coordinate with the sport-specific rehabilitation programming at Sports Performance Physical Therapy in Chula Vista. Highest-complexity procedures include total ankle replacement implantation and Charcot foot reconstruction requiring external ring fixation for limb salvage in diabetic patients.
