Yes: But with all you have listed as your conditions, i wouldn't advise it. I would recommend pt and for you to constantly try to strengthen your legs. Possibly try an AFO brace.

Yes: Yes, it's possible to treat surgically after exhaustion of nonsurgical care (bracing, therapies, etc). However, sometimes the surgery may entail more than just tendon work as you may have to have bone surgery to correct deformity, add stability, and have a walkable foot. Hope this helped.

Foot Drop Tendon: This depends on the tendon and muscles. First, an exam would have to be done to see how well each tendon/muscle component is working and then a determination can be made as to if a surgery (either lengthening of tendon or tendon transfer) can be performed. A tendon transfer is used to take a tendon from one part of the foot and use it to hold the foot up and prevent foot drop.
