Hi
Thanks for writing
What is the age of your brother? This(foot drop) can be made better by either tendon transfer surgery or by bone fusion surgery depending on the finding of physical examination.
So, you should get in touch with orthopaedic surgeon in your city hospital for further help.
Hope this helps
Take care
