Abstract

The aim of this study is to classify the foot type in Korean according to digital formula and metatarsal formula using foot X-rays(anteroposterior view) of 201 persons' right feet.


Results
were as follows:

1) The most common digital type of Koreans was Egyptian foot (50.2%), and next common type were squared foot (29.4%), and then Greek foot (20.3%).

2) The most common metatarsal type was index plus type (55.7%) and next common type were index plus minus type (33.3%), and then index minus type (10.9%).

3) The hallux valgus was closely associated with index plus type foot (p<0.001).

4) There was significant correlation between digital formula and metatarsal formula (p<0.001).

5) There was significant correlation between first metatarsophalangeal angle and first intermetatarsal angle (p<0.001).

According to the above mentioned morphologic classification of foot, the correlation between each foot types and foot deformities, ideal foot wear in Koreans should be studied further.

Key Words: Digital formula, Metatarsal formula, Egyptian foot, Index plus type, Hallux valgus
