How long should it take a broken pinky toe nuckle to heal?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
About 2 weeks: It depends on how big a break it is. If it is out of place may need surgery. If it is simple break, usually tolerable after 2 weeks, fully healed by one month unless you have diabetes or circulatory problem.

6-8 weeks is : A good time frame. Assuming there is no displacement., and following a protocol of not propulsing off the toes. A simple surgical shoe is effective in preventing propulsion of the toes. (because you don't want to bend the area where there is the fracture.
