Is it possible to recover from drop foot?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe....: Drop foot may be curable, and in many cases is effectively treated. Treatments range from bracing to surgery. I suggest that you see an orthopedic foot and ankle surgeon to obtain options and determine which treatment is best for you. One in your area can be found at www.Aofas.Org.

Yes: In many cases foot drop is correctable. Depending on the level of injury it will vary in recovery time. There are some patients who will recover 100% and others who may not. There are many excellent treatment options available conservatively and surgically. Best wishes!
