Broken toe. Close-up of a 54-year-old man's little toe broken in a road traffic accident. Breaks (fractures) to the bones of the toes are common. Here,the broken toe is red,swollen and tender. The break has deformed the toe,causing it to turn outwards. X-rays are usually taken of such broken bones to accurately diagnose the site and type of fracture. Treatment depends on the bone location,the type of fracture and the age of the patient. However,it usually involves repositioning and immobilisation to allow the bone to heal | |
