Abstract Background Hallux valgus (HV) is the most common pathologic entity affecting the great toe. The goal of corrective surgery is to restore foot mechanics and provide pain relief. The purpose of the study was to create individual angle using life-size foot models with three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to design a section on HV osteotomy. Materials and Methods Ten female patients with a diagnosis of HV were included. Radiologic [HV angle and intermetatarsal (IM) angle] and clinical [American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS)] assessment was done pre- and postoperatively. All the operations were planned together with 3D life-size models generated from computed tomography (CT) scans. Benefits of using the 3D life-size models were noted. The 3D model’s perception was evaluated. Results The mean AOFAS score, mean HV, and IM angles had improved significantly (P
