Botulinum Toxin: an adjunct in limb reconstruction – can it reduce pain and joint complications in the lengthening phase?
- Conditions
- The surgery to correct leg & foot deformities in children is a lengthy, & sometimes, difficult procedure. Metal frames are attached to the leg and / or foot and over a period of time the frame is manipulated to obtain the corrected position. During this period the muscles & skin become very tight which causes pain & may pull the joint out of position.
