Broken Toes

(2 discussions)

What is done for broken toes? I broke the 3rd, 4th and 5th toes. Should I let them heal on there own or see a doctor? I can’t walk on them at all. If nothing can be done other then taping I don’t want to run to a doc if its not needed. Thanks for your time.

    While it is certainly up to you to decide if you should see a doctor, I always say “To see is to know, not to see is to guess.”Why do you think taping has no value? I have had patients with this problem run the gamut from just splinting to needed a post op shoe or even a cat boot.

      I just figured there wasn’t anything that can be done for broken toes. I have a cast boot from a previous injury..should I wear it until I can see my podiatrist on the 16th?
