A fracture of the proximal phalanx of the right 2nd toe needs to be judged in terms of severity, if the fracture is minor and the soft tissue damage is small then it is usually treated conservatively, if there is a comminuted fracture or because it is more pronounced then surgery is required.
The proximal phalanx of the right 2nd toe will show localized swelling and pain, and activity will be limited. In the event that the fracture damage is mild and there is not too much soft tissue destruction, it is only necessary to limit the activity by means of a brace or a cast, and the recovery can be slow. If the damage is more severe, especially if the surrounding soft tissue is severely damaged or if the fracture is comminuted, then surgical treatment is required.
Therefore, whether the fracture of the proximal phalanx of the right 2nd toe is serious or not needs to be judged according to the situation, and it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
