Numb toes: With an injury to the ankle of that magnitude, it can irritate the nerves around these ligamentous structures and capsule. The numbness in the toes should resolve, but this could take weeks to months until this completely resolves.

Numbness: If the ankle was previously treated with a cast that is not removable and the numbness occurred after, you would need to have an exam right away... and likely a cast change. These types of injuries are very common. Best wishes.
