Abstract

Nerve injuries of the foot and ankle can result in pain, numbness, or loss of motor function. A thorough history and physical examination are required to diagnose the injury correctly and guide treatment. Treatment may involve conservative measures, primary nerve repair or nerve grafting, or resection and relocation of painful neuroma. Potential complications include the development of chronic pain syndromes.
