The purpose of this study was comparison between length of the thumb and the first metatarsal in people exposed with hallux valgus (HV) and healthy people. One hundred fourteen middle age (20-30 years-old) person (228 feet) based on hallux valgus angle (HVA) divided into; control group (74 feet), mild HVA (88 feet) and moderate HVA (66 feet). Radiography picture was used for analysis HVA. Then picture was taken by scanner and research variables measured by using AutoCad software. The results of this study did not show significant differences between groups in length of the first of metatarsal and distal phalanx of the hallux (p>0.05). The length of the Proximal phalanx of the hallux in mild and moderate HV groups was significantly shorter than control group (p=0.001). Also the length of the thumb in mild and moderate HV groups was shorter then control group (p<0.05). The maximal amount of hallux deviation was in mild, moderate HV an control group respectively (p=0.000). There wasn’t significant different between 1 and 2 intermetatarsal angle (IMA) between control and mild group (p=0.732). The angle between 1 and 2 intermetatarsal in moderate HV was significantly higher then control and mild HV groups (p<0.05). Also dislocation of sesamoied bones there was not significant different between groups (p=0.001). It is concluded, that length of the first metatarsal and phalanxes the hallux cannot considered as an endogenous risk factor in mild to moderate HV.
