Foot drop is a disorder characterized by weakness in the dorsiflexor muscles of the foot, caused by various pathologies, including neurological, muscular, spinal, and autoimmune conditions. Sometimes, it can be iatrogenic due to direct nerve compression, traction, or ischemia. The occurrence and underlying mechanism of foot drop following aortobifemoral bypass surgery are not well-documented in literature.
