摘要

Neuromuscular toxin is administered to a mammal's foot by administering an amount of the neuromuscular toxin effective to treat the disorder by intramuscular injection into the extensor pollicis brevis of the affected foot of the mammal. 1 It is intended for use in the treatment of abnormalities of the metatarsophalangeal joint. Further efficacy can also be obtained by administering the toxin to the adductor hallux adductor and / or short flexor toe muscles of the affected foot. One of the abnormalities to be treated is abductor hallux valgus, commonly called a vanion.
