The effect of botulinum toxin injection into the deep digital flexor muscle on foot biomechanics in healthy horses
These biomechanical effects of DDF botulinum toxin inoculation would be expected to reduce mechanical stress on the dorsal lamellae and could be useful for treatment of acute laminitis to help reduce distal phalangeal rotation.
