Symptoms of peroneal nerve injury (foot drop). Symptoms of peroneal nerve injury (foot drop) may include: 1  Inability to point toes toward the body (dorsi flexion). 2  Pain. 3  Weakness. 4  Numbness (on the shin or top of the foot). 5  Loss of function of foot. 6  High-stepping walk (called steppage gait or footdrop gait).
Nerve injury is the most common cause of foot drop. Compression of the peroneal nerve affects the control on the muscles involved in lifting the foot. The nerve may get compressed at the knee or in the lower spine. Knee or hip replacement surgeries of other nerve injuries may also damage the nerve.
