Abstract
This paper discusses the normal adult values of the fibular deviation of the distal phalanx of the great toe. Occurrence of this deviation a t birth is a normal finding and an increase can be expected during per iods of active growth within the foot. This developmental increase is dependent upon transverse plane stability at the metatarsophalangeal j oint. Preoperative procedures and postoperative reviews are discussed.
