A member asked:
Undisplaced chip fracture to lateral aspect to the tuft of the distal phalanx big toe. is this a bad fracture? what is the treatment for it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This would not be considered a “bad” fracture. I would protect the area. Wear a stiff sole shoe for at least 3-4 weeks. You still have to allow for healing. You could have experienced a ligament injury to the joint. Important to allow proper healing. Advil or Aleve for pain and swelling
