Broken ankle in '92. stretched a nerve. no problems until recent years. now, burning in top of foot espec. at night. did nerve regenerate?

Most likely not: The nerve could regenerate about 1 mm(hair thick a day, you had your injury in 92, that very long , most the cause for the burning on the top of your foot due to something else.

Possibly: If in same area then either the nerve is regenerating or other nerves are taking its place.
