If my toe is fractured what would they do? cast, boot, or what
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Buddy tape: Most toe fractures are treated with conservative care (taping it to the toe next to it), ice, and rest. In general, these heal fine. If you haven't already, see your doctor and get an X-ray to conform the diagnosis and guide treatment. Hope this helps!
