Knee stiffness & foot drop

2022-07-20 05:08:10
Post operative knee stiffness, Peroneal nerve oedema after 3 months post op, Now femoral plate removed and mobility restored but foot drop is present. So I wanted to ask that is there possibility of femoral plate screw blocking common  peroneal nerve in medial part? There was swelling in knee which is reduced after implant removal. Can peroneal nerve oedema be cured surgically?
