| Abstract: | 1- After discussing some relevant aspects of incidence, pathogenesis, clinical and electrical propaedeutics, and treatment of drop foot in lepers, the authors present a surgical trial to determine to relative value of lateral popliteal nerve epineurectomy for drop foot and trophic plantar ulcers. 2 - No signs of correlation were seen in relation to foot ulcers, but the number of cases is much too small to warrant the drawing of any definite conclusions. 3 - Regarding drop foot, marked success was achieved in alll cases. The authors recommend this method, because of the favorable results obtained in drop foot of 7 to years' duration. (AU)^ien.
