hi
could you please suggest a good doctor for Peroneal nerve injury?
Patient was operated for ACL/PLC and Meniscus repair. Post injury patient had problems of foot drop. numbness in first 2 fingers on toe. Toe can not come up.
doctor has recommended for a nerve decompression surgery. Please advice who is the best doctor to go to in such a case
As you have said that the patient had meniscal injury with ACL /PCL repair . common peroneal nerve injury is a common complication of it
The more the time of foot drop + sensory loss in between the toes the poorer the outcome after decompression surgery
Now the best doctor to operate depends upon your location in world
generally following are the doctor you can go
General surgeon.................less expertise but can do operation Plastic surgeon..................moderate expertise but can do the operation Orthopaedic surgeon..........High expertise , and i recommend this
hope this helps
take care Orthopaedic surgeon.
