A member asked:

My toe was fractured. it wasnt reduced properly. now it is dry gangrene and last 2 toes dont touch ground. my doc tells me to wait. i'm distressed?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Wait for what?: Your toes aren't touching the ground because if the dislocation. How much of an area is gangrenous? Do you have insurance?

Rare diagnosis at 22: Fracture of toes will not result dry gangrene , more often in elderly people with poor circulation . At 22 may not be gangrene, ecchymosis ( old blood under the skin ) may be interpreted as gangrene by you , Speak to your doctor again , if you are not happy get a second opinion s soon as possible.
