Dear Phiroze
you have sciatic nerve palsy post total hip Arthroplasty.
If it is from one year and not recovered than the possibility of future recovery is very less.
If you get the EMG NCV test done than we can better comment about the future recovery and type of nerve injury.
There are surgery for foot drop known as tendon transfer or bone block.
you need to consult the nearest orthopaedician for better understanding.
Hope this is helpful for you.
