A friend of mine told me that he/she has drop foot after internal tibia surgery , we don't know how this happened , but it's his doctor fault , do anyone of you know why this could happen and how could a doctor avoid it ? that's a very serious complication , i'm not going to tell the name of the doctor but my friend is looking to sue him.

No , he didn't
Quote from: hanshi on January 07, 2019, 07:23:06 PMIs the doctor by chance Dr. Betz? I know several of his tibia patients who got dropfoot due to permanent nerve and muscle damage.
No, he is'nt Dr. Betz, do you know What could cause this?
His/her drop foot was caused during surgery not when lengthening.
Does Anyone know if the surgery to fix this has good results?
Quote from: hanshi on January 08, 2019, 04:22:51 PMDid your friend lose his/her tibialis anterior muscle? I know a specialist who has performed muscle transplantations from upper to lower leg to replace the muscle lost due to untreated compartment syndrome. I can give the contact details by pm.
We dont know , as my friend haven't had consultation with another doctor by the moment , she/he is already lengthening.
