I dislocated my knee 20 years ago and it caused nerve damage that caused foot drop, so after a year living with 2 braces they did a foot lift with a tendon transfer, my surgeon took a tendon that made my foot go side to side and placed it so it moved up and down, therefore allowing me to walk without a foot brace or tripping over my foot that hung down.
It was very successful to the surprise and delight of my surgeon, come to find out it was the first he had preformed!
He had been an orthopedic surgeon for 25 years and had all the great reviews and accolades!, my point is I’m glad it worked but I would of been more apprehensive had I known it was his first.
I still have some of the nerve damage and it’s my worse knee now that I’m older..
but I do think the nerve has slowly gotten better over the years. I hope you regain at least some nerve healing, but it does take time.
I am very hesitant to even have steroid injections in my knee because I don’t want any more nerve damage, same with knee replacement too.
Good luck to you!
