Hallux abducto valgus is a frequently seen abnormality of the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Limited conservative treatment options exist, making surgery the only definitive treatment option for a mild-to-moderate deformity. A problem arises if the patient is not a surgical candidate owing to comorbidities, noncompliance, or personal reasons, such as work or family obligations.
We describe a case in which the use of botulinum toxin Ainjection reduced not only the hallux abducto valgus deformity clinically and radiographically but also its associated pain. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 98(1): 61-65, 2008)
Physicians of various specialties including podiatry, plastic and reconstructive surgery, cosmetic surgery and dermatology may be interested in offering this treatment to their patients for the treatment of mild to moderate bunion deformities.
BunionTox addresses the functionality, pain and cosmetics of a bunion deformity with a precise yet simple and brief technique that can be performed with little or no discomfort to the patient. The patient can immediately resume their normal activities and desired shoe gear. Follow up treatments can be done at 12-24 months to prevent recurrence.
With the correct patient selection, reduction of the deformity and long term relief can be achieved precluding the inherent risks, potential complications and costliness of surgery.
Although Botulinum toxin is not FDA approved for this specific application in has been commonly used “off label” for many human conditions including, facial wrinkles, muscle spasticity, headaches, hyperhydrosis, and bladder conditions to mention a few.
