Needs eval: If one of his toes is malaligned then simply taping the toes together may not be adequate. At this point, if would be in your father's best interest to see a podiatrist, his physician or an orthopedic surgeon.

Broken toes : Without proper alignment, the bones will not heal well. See an orthopedic or foot doctor
