Is it a bad idea to play sports with a broken big toe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: You "push-off" with your big toe and most sports will require you to do this over and over. You'll do better in the long run to rest and splint it until it's healed. If the fracture is into the joint, it may need to be surgically realigned and repaired.
