  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2003/1215/p2413.html

  Fractures of the toe are one of the most common lower extremity fractures diagnosed by family physicians. […] Anteroposterior and oblique radiographs generally are most useful for identifying fractures, determining displacement, and evaluating adjacent phalanges and digits. […] Referral is indicated in patients with circulatory compromise, open fractures, significant soft tissue injury, fracture-dislocations, displaced intra-articular fractures, or fractures of the first toe that are unstable or involve more than 25 percent of the joint surface. […] Most children with fractures of the physis should be referred, but children with selected nondisplaced Salter-Harris types I and II fractures may be treated by family physicians. […] Stable, nondisplaced toe fractures should be treated with buddy taping and a rigid-sole shoe to limit joint movement.

  https://www.drjosephruffo.com/blog/item/284-diagnosing-and-treating-a-broken-toe.html

  Diagnosing and Treating a Broken Toe […] Broken toes are often a result of something being dropped on it, stubbing it, or bending it the wrong way. Broken toes are often indicated by a snap or popping sound when the injury occurs, swelling, bruising, deformity, decreased movement, and worsening pain when the toe is moved or touched. Patients who believe that they have broken their toe should consult with a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis. A podiatrist will check the toe and may need to take an x-ray. Once the broken toe has been diagnosed, the podiatrist will choose the treatment option that is best for the particular injury. Depending on the severity of the break, the toe may be buddy-taped to the uninjured toe next to it. A cast, splint, or brace may also be used to treat the toe, and in severe cases, surgery may be necessary. […] A broken toe occurs when one or more of the toe bones of the foot are broken after an injury. Injuries such as stubbing your toe or dropping a heavy object on it may cause a toe fracture. […] Although the injured toe should be monitored daily, it is especially important to have a podiatrist look at your toe if you have severe symptoms. Some of these symptoms include worsening or new pain that is not relieved with medication, sores, redness, or open wounds near the toe.

[…] A doctor may take an X-ray to see if a toe is broken or fractured. […] X-rays are not always necessary to make the diagnosis of a broken toe, especially if the break is in one of the smaller toes. […] Depending on the location and severity of the toe fracture, the fracture may need to be reduced (put back into place) and splinted or casted. […] A cast is usually not required for a simple toe fracture. […] A doctor may suggest a special shoe to wear if the foot or toes are very swollen.

  A broken toe is a common injury that’s most often caused by dropping something on a foot or stubbing a toe. […] Usually, treating a broken toe involves taping it to the next toe. But if the fracture is severe especially if it’s in the big toe proper healing might require a cast or even surgery to heal well. […] Most broken toes heal well, usually within 4 to 6 weeks. Sometimes, however, a broken toe can get infected. Also, the break might increase the risk of getting osteoarthritis in that toe in the future. […] Consult a health care provider if the pain, swelling and change in skin color last for more than a few days or if the injury affects walking or wearing shoes. […] X-rays of the foot can confirm a broken toe. […] During the physical exam, health care providers typically check for tender areas in the toe. The provider also will check the skin around the injury to make sure it’s not cut and that the toe is still getting blood flow and nerve signals.

  Toe fractures are the most common fractures of the foot. Most fractures involve minimal displacement and are treated nonsurgically. Lesser toe fractures are about twice as common as great toe fractures. […] The primary goals of treating toe fractures include reestablishing and maintaining alignment, regaining range of motion, and preventing complications. […] Radiographic evaluation is dependent on the toe affected; a complete foot series is not always necessary unless the patient has diffuse pain and tenderness. There should be at least three images of the affected toe, including anteroposterior, lateral, and oblique views, with visualization of the adjacent toes and of the joints above and below the suspected fracture location. […] Management is influenced by the severity of the injury and the patient’s activity level. Physicians should consider referring patients with fractures of the great toe that have any degree of displacement, angulation, or rotational deformity.

  Toe fractures are common in children Suspected fractures of the smaller toes (2nd-5th) with no clinical deformity may not require X-ray, as it would be unlikely to change management. The big (1st) toe has an important role in toe-off phase of gait; suspected fractures should be formally diagnosed with xray with any fractures followed up in with the orthopaedics team. Correction of any clinically evident angulation is a key part of Emergency Department Management. Orthopaedic team management is necessary in the case of toe fractures with associated open nailbed injury (Seymour fractures) […] Phalangeal fractures are the most common foot fracture in children. […] Plain film dorsoplantar, oblique and lateral views should be ordered where there is a suspected open fracture, a suspected fracture with associated angulation, a nailbed injury, or for any fracture of the great (1st) toe.

• #1 Toe Fracture (Broken Toe) | Atlanta, GA | Dr. Dominic Carreira

  https://hipfootankle.com/problems-treated/toe-fracture-broken-toe/

  A toe fracture (or broken toe) is a very painful but common injury most often caused by an injury from the accidental stubbing of a toe or dropping a heavy object on the forefoot. They typically occur on the corner of an object such as a bedpost. The injury can cause displacement (or shifting) of the bone into poor alignment or may be non-displaced. […] Symptoms of a toe fracture include: swelling of the toe and foot, bruising and discoloration, and pain with walking and weight bearing. […] Toe fractures can usually be diagnosed by a doctor on a plain x-ray. However, stress fractures may not be visible at first on x-ray. After the stress fracture heals a callus is formed which is visible on x-ray. […] If the doctor suspects a stress fracture, but cannot see it on plain x-ray than a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be ordered.

  Foot fractures are among the most common foot injuries evaluated by primary care physicians. They most often involve the metatarsals and toes. Patients typically present with varying signs and symptoms, the most common being pain and trouble with ambulation. Diagnosis requires radiographic evaluation, although emerging evidence demonstrates that ultrasonography may be just as accurate. […] Great toe fractures are treated with a short leg walking boot or cast with toe plate for two to three weeks, then a rigid-sole shoe for an additional three to four weeks. Lesser toe fractures can be treated with buddy taping and a rigid-sole shoe for four to six weeks. […] The Ottawa Ankle and Foot Rules should be used to help determine whether radiography is needed when evaluating patients with suspected fractures of the proximal fifth metatarsal.
