Please explain why is the bottom of my foot numb after total ankle replacement surgery?

Nerve issue: This is a nerve issue. Most likely involving the posterior tibial nerve and/or its respective branches. Consult your original surgeon and ask for an MRI to determine the integrity of this nerve. Ask for a copy of the MRI results.
