Drop foot after internal tibia surgery

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.

Basically overstretched the nerve but never disconnected. This could of been avoided if i wouldve done LON on femur like i did the first time.
This couldve happened to anyone else, if i wouldve known what i know now i wouldve just done pure LON on femur. I hope future external femur patients learn from this.

Thank you very much for detailed explanation about drop foot after femurs
