A member asked:

Big toe broken in 3 places and a large fracture. one break has moved by 4mm! in pain and still walking on it? infected bone too. second opinion?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs a cast.: The big toe is the most important toe of all five for walking and balance, and if fractures there are not treated properly, quite honestly, you may never walk right again. Even worse if the bone therein is infected. At the least you need a cast, and perhaps a bone or WBC scan to confirm/deny infection in the bone.
