May need surgery: if a fracture has healed in poor alignment, you may need surgery to have it corrected.

Specializes in Podiatry

Why?: Could it possibly be that after 8 weeks, the toe is just not totally healed? You need to follow up with the doctor who treated your toe and get his perspective on the progress of the healing.
