X-ray: The only real way to tell if it is broken is to have an x-ray. But if the toe is swollen and pointed in an unusual direction and you can't move it, it is probably proken, but needs professional attention.

X rays: A bad contusion to the pinky can appear just like a fracture. Severe fractures and dislocations of the pinky are visually more deformed. Good news - if it is not dislocated or severely broken, rest , ice, buddy tape is the treatment for either a bruise or a simple fractures. X rays will solve the mystery!
