To be : Objective we would need to see what the treating doc sees. Like, your x-rays. If you were told it will heal, i will take that at face value.

Deformity: It is true that a little deformity will not keep them from healing. But the doctor should make sure that there won't be secondary problems like calluses or wounds from the deformity.

Probably: Look at the x-rays and see if the bone is lined up straight. This is the best indicator. Sometimes soft tissue injury leads to position change and this is less likely to heal straight.

Broken: Without x rays as dr kass said, it is difficult to speak conclusively . Speak to your treating physician.

One way or another.: After six weeks, most of, if not all of, the bone has healed. Weather or not the toe leans one way or another is another story. The best way is to look at the fourth toe of the other foot and compare. I say this because sometimes the fourth toe can lean normally. Fractured toes can have some residual swelling and that could effect the toe's position. Swelling means the tissue needs more healing.
