This study investigated the differences in weightbearing, foot radiographs among normal subjects, those with hallux valgus, and those with hallux limitus. An intrarater reliability study of various x-ray measurements was conducted, utilizing seven dorsoplantar and six lateral measurements. The results showed that metatarsus primus adductus, increased metatarsal width, and a positive first metatarsal protrusion distance were associated with hallux valgus, whereas increased hallux interphalangeal angle was associated with hallux limitus.
