A member asked:
Dx displaced avulsion fracture, base of big toe after worsening forefoot pain. in rigid shoe waiting for ortho consult. what is typical treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoe: From your description, this would likely be treated with continued rigid shoe wear and activity modification. This should heal with time. Most fractures will heal by 3 months.
