Abstract
this study aims to develop a 3D FE model of the foot suffering from valgus hallux in order to investigate the plantar pressure distributions between bony structures. in a first phase a baropodometric analysis was performed, successively a FE analysis was performed comparing results and obtaining information on the stress shielding. the valgus hallux deforms the correct spreading of the stress inside the bony structures causing an overloading of pressure located on the hallux and downloading the other toes. This comparative study can furnish important indications about the distribution of the stress patterns on the foot.
