- Dr. Ebraheim’s educational animated video describes the condition known as foot drop , which occurs due to Peroneal nerve injury . Causes and treatment of Peroneal nerve injury is outlined .
What is foot drop?
The inability to raise the front part of the foot due to weakness or paralysis of the tibialis anterior muscle that lifts the foot.
A common symptom of foot drop is high steppage gait often characterized by raising the thigh up in an exaggerated fashion while walking.
When the person with foot drop walks, the foot slaps down onto the floor.
Foot drop usually results from injury to the peroneal nerve which is susceptible to injury at any point of its course.
The peroneal nerve begins from the L4,L5, S1 and S2 nerve roots and joins the tibial nerve to form the sciatic nerve.
The sciatic nerve starts n the lower back and runs through the buttock and lower limb.
In the lower thigh, just above the back of the knee, the sciatic nerve divides into two nerve, the tibial and peroneal nerves, which innervate different parts of the lower leg.
The common peroneal nerve then ravels anterior, around the fibular neck, dividing into superficial and deep peroneal nerves.
The deep peroneal nerve gives innervation to the tibialis anterior muscle of the lower leg which is responsible for dorsiflexion of the ankle.
Conditions causing foot drop:
1-L4-L5 disc herniation
A herniated disc compressing the L5 nerve root may cause foot drop.
2-Lumbosacral plexus injury due to pelvic fracture
3-Sciatic nerve injury: hip dislocation
The common peroneal division of the sciatic nerve is commonly injured during fracture dislocation injuries involving the hip.
4-Injury to the knee: knee dislocation
In the event of a knee dislocation, it is important to check for common peroneal nerve and popliteal artery injury.
5-Established compartment syndrome
•Foot drop is a late finding
•Irreversible muscle and nerve ischemia occur in patients if fasciotomy is not performed.
•Fasciotomy should be done early.
•4 hours of ischemia may be tolerated, but by 8 hours, the damage is often irreversible.
Treatment of peroneal nerve injury/foot drop:
•If a disc herniation in the low back is impinging on the nerve and causing symptoms of foot drop, then the herniated disc should be treated or removed.
•Obtain EMG and nerve studies of the patient.
•Recovery may take 1 year to 18 months.
•The big toe is the last to recover.
•If no recovery is achieved, explore the nerve for repair, graft or tendon transfer.

My peroneal nerve was cut by a doctor in 2009 is there any help for me. I can move the foot only to the natural position. It hurts all the time, it there a chance I could have it repaired or a tendon transfer. Do you have any suggestions on who I could talk to. This is the first Video I have seen that gives me hope. I am 76 and I keep tripping and falling
I’m so sorry you have to go through this my perineal nerve was cut by a doctor to I have had multiple surgery’s if surgery is an option I recommend it best of luck to you.

Thank you
I have had 20 years of the following symptoms: Every 20-30 steps I take there’s a snapping/popping on the inside of my left ankle accompanied by an extremely sharp pain that shoots to the heel, and to the foot. I lose stability and collapse. I have a history of disc disease in my spine and have had surgery on L4-L5-S1 (microdiskectomy). Usually orthotics help with walking but I need to tape the ankle to run. My podiatrist thinks it could be referred pain from my spine but I feel like it’s coming from the ankle. The pain is shooting pain and abates immediately. My X-rays are normal and my MRIs do not show any Tarsal Tunnel issues. As of right now I am in a brace, on steroids and in PT for my spine but I need to figure out this ankle issue. Any advice? Greatly appreciated.
