A can fell on my big toe lac is nail to cuticle. cleaned and bandaged. dr said x-ray shows chip in bone. should i consult specialist or just heal ?

Chip off the old....: There is no harm in seeing a specialist. Depending on the location and size of the chip, it might just be possible to use a splintage technique to minimize potential problems from the loose chip. Splinting may even increase the chances of the chip's ability to heal back on.
