Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
hello,
you can opt for foot drop splints in case you want conservative management , in case you want surgical management you need to go for tendon transfer surgery followed by physiotherapy to regain muscle action, kindly consult a plastic surgeon or an orthopaedic surgeon.
