Hi and welcome to HCM
It seems lateral peroneal nerve injury causing foot drop during surgery on femur.As there is no progress even after 10 months, tendon transfer surgery can be considered. I am india based orthopaedic surgeon, no idea about sudan. In our country cost is approx 50-60 thousand rupees.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and informative and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
