What can the doctor do to fix a broken big toe?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Splint : When a toe is broken it should be splinted. The best way to do this is to tape it to the toe next to it

Few things: Conservative treatment would be a splint, possibly a digital cast. Sometimes just a surgical shoe. If it is badly broken surgery may be recommended.
