Hallux valgus is a complex deformity which contains static subluxation of the first metatarsophalangeal jaint with lateral deviation of the great toe and medial deviation of the first metatarsal bone. Among the several parameters, radiographic indices are the important. ones in the choice of the treatment method. Even though, the normal values of the western peoples are already estabilished, there was no standard values for Korean who has different genetics, and cultural background, till now. So, we tried to estimate the noraml values of the HVA ( hallux valgus angle ), IMA (Intermetatarsal angle ) and DMAA (Distal Metatarsal Articular surface Angle) in a normal adult. Fifty normal adult ( each 25 male and female ) were chosen and took 100 cases of foot radiograph and radiologic indices of the hallux valgus were measured. Average age at the investigation was 34.5 years old. The average HVA is 13.3, IMA is 8.5 and DMAA is 34.6.
