Abstract :
A three-dimensional accurate foot model including bones, cartilages, ligaments and tendons was developed from 3D reconstruction of CT images. The model was used to analyze stress-strain of the joint between the first metatarsal and the medial cuneiform and to study the relationship of the range of motion of the first ray and hallux valgus
