Abstract

As the literature that pertains to botulinum toxin expands, the scope of treatment options broadens. Although initial uses of botulinum toxin focused around the head and neck, there are many uses for the toxin in the area of the foot and ankle; more possibilities are under investigation every day. We review the uses and techniques for botulinum toxin in the foot and ankle and present results of botulinum toxin treatment in 10 idiopathic toe walkers.
