Broken toes are a common injury. The fracture is most often treated without surgery and can be taken care of at home. Severe injuries include: • Breaks that cause the toe to be crooked • Breaks that cause an open wound • Injuries that involve the big toe If you have a severe injury, you should seek medical help. Injuries that involve the big toe may need a cast or splint to heal. In rare cases, tiny pieces of bone can break off and keep the bone from healing properly. In this case, you may need surgery.

Symptoms of a broken toe include: • Pain • Swelling • Bruising that can last up to 2 weeks • Stiffness If your toe is crooked after the injury, the bone may be out of place and may need to be straightened in order to heal properly. This may be done either with or without surgery. Most broken toes will heal on their own with proper care at home. It can take 4 to 6 weeks for complete healing.

This will go away in time with nail growth. If there is substantial blood under the nail, it may be removed to reduce pain and potentially prevent the loss of the nail. For the first few days or weeks after your injury: • Rest. Stop doing any physical activity that causes pain, and keep your foot immobile whenever possible. • For the first 24 hours, ice your toe for 20 minutes every hour you are awake, then 2 to 3 times a day. DO NOT apply ice directly to the skin.
• Keep your foot raised to help keep swelling down. • Take pain medicine if necessary. For pain, you can use ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn). • If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, or have had stomach ulcers or bleeding, talk with your health care provider. • DO NOT give aspirin to children.
You may also take acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) for pain relief. If you have liver disease, talk with your provider before using this medicine. DO NOT take more than the amount recommended on the medicine bottle or by your provider. Your provider may prescribe a stronger medicine if needed.
To take care of your injury at home: • Buddy taping. Wrap tape around the injured toe and the toe next to it. This helps keep your toe stable. Place a small wad of cotton between your toes to prevent tissues from becoming too moist. Change the cotton daily. It may be painful to wear a regular shoe. In this case, your doctor can provide a stiff-bottomed shoe.
This will protect your toe and make room for swelling. Once swelling has gone down, wear a solid, stable shoe to protect your toe.
