Varies : If you are not have symptoms if weakness or instability, it may be ok to not treat. If not, a reconstructive surgery would be an option. I would discuss directly with your surgeon.

A year ago got injured. Navicular was broke and had surgery. But foot still snaps near 5th metatarsal whenever I rotate it (since injury). Why??

Due to peroneal nerve injury. which caused foot drop. after 5 months of enjury. The situation now is still the same. is surgery the only option at this time? last EMG mentions a partial lesion with no evidence of regeneration and active degeneration?
