Postpartum foot drop, caused by trauma to the lumbosacral nerve roots, has been associated with traumatic vaginal birth--fetal macrosomia and difficult forceps deliveries. After a spontaneous delivery a patient developed an L-5 neuropathy. In the modern era of obstetrics, foot drop is a rare complication of vaginal birth and causes significant disability. Although the condition can be permanent, most cases resolve in two to six months.
产后足下垂由腰骶神经根损伤引起，与阴道分娩创伤（巨大胎儿和产钳助产困难）有关。一名患者在自然分娩后出现L-5神经病变。在现代产科中，足下垂是阴道分娩的罕见并发症，会导致严重残疾。虽然这种情况可能会持续存在，但大多数病例在两到六个月内会恢复。
