Abstract
Nerve injuries of the foot and ankle are among the most difficult to diagnose and treat. With the added influences of potential secondary gain and poor motivation of the work injured patient, these injuries can be taxing and frustrating to manage in the acute or chronic setting. This article reviews the neuroanatomy, mechanisms of injury, diagnosis and management of these injuries with specific reference to the patient injured in the industrial setting.
