reduced sensation at tibialis anterior and top of the foot / will it get better?

Edit Post

Hi,

I'm currently lengthening my tibias with LON (+3cm), and I've had reduced sensation on my left leg at the upper part of the tibialis anterior and also at the top of the foot since day 1. It's slowly getting better but I was wondering why this happened and how long will it take to recover fully?

your replies are appreciated,

Thanks for your reply, But I was hoping for a more detailed one! What is the reason for reduced sensation after surgery? and if the nerves are damaged why the result is manifested by loss of sensation, not by loss of function? How and how long does it take to heal? I'm looking for the science of it.

Thanks, JOKER
