Carl Hueter (27 November 1838 – 12 May 1882) was a German surgeon born in Marburg.
Following the state examination in Kassel (1858), he continued his education in Berlin, Vienna, England and Paris.
In 1865 he became an assistant to Bernhard von Langenbeck (1810–1887) in Berlin, and in 1868 succeeded surgeon Gustav Simon (1824–1876) at the University of Rostock.
Hueter was the author of a highly regarded work on joint diseases, Klinik der Gelenkkrankheiten mit Einschluss der Orthopädie (1870), and with Strasbourg surgeon Georg Albert Lücke (1829–1894), he was co-founder of the journal Deutsche Zeitschrift für Chirurgie.
[1] Hueter is credited with coining the term "hallux valgus" in 1871 to define lateral deviation of the big toe at the metatarsophalangeal articulation.
