Diagnosis of Toe Fractures
A doctor's evaluation Sometimes x-rays Doctors can often diagnose a toe fracture based on a physical examination. Usually, x-rays are not needed because treatment is the same whether the toe is fractured or not. If the big toe is fractured or if a toe is badly bent out of place (displaced) or rotated, x-rays are taken from several different angles. (See also Diagnosis .) For most toe fractures, no x-rays are needed.
