A member asked:
I have been told i have a non displaced avulsion in great toe knuckle, the last joint before the nail. can a boot truly stabilize it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stop moving around!!: A boot might certainly help if the boot can satisfactorily hold the toe with enough stability. Another method would be to apply the stabilizing force directly to the toe. A compression wrap or taping for instance could to the trick. A combination of boot and splint might be best. Without seeing the x-ray, this is all hypothetical, remember that. Why not see a specialist?
