The study was based on a series of 30 normal mide subjects ageing between 20 to 30. Femoroti-bial angle of the knee joint was analyzed using a an-teroposterior roentgenogram of the knee. Femoroti-bial angle was 5(right) - 6(left) degree at the decubit-us pozition, and 3 .6(right) 2.9(left) degree at the standing. At the right lateral subfood wedge, varus of the knee was increased at the right knee (28, %93.3), and valgus of the knee was increased at the left knee (12, %40). Valgus of the right knee was decreased with right lateral subfood wedge. Thickness of the wedge didn't increase valgus of the right knee, but increased valgus of the left knee.
