Toe Fractures
Treatment of Toe Fractures
Buddy taping For certain injuries, reduction and fixation Treatment of a toe fracture involves taping the injured toe to an adjacent toe (dynamic splinting, or How To Buddy-Tape Toes ). If the toe is displaced or deformed, reduction may be needed before buddy taping. Fixation is sometimes indicated (eg, for fractures with marked displacement or rotational deformity of the great toe). If the great toe is fractured, patients should not put weight on the injured foot and should wear a hard-soled postoperative shoe; follow-up appointments should be scheduled with an orthopedic surgeon.
