How to treat a broken big toe

After the fracture of the big toe, promptly improve the local X-ray examination to determine the degree of displacement of the fracture. If the fracture is only linear and not significantly displaced, it can be treated conservatively by giving a cast fixation and braking. If there is significant dislocation, prompt manipulation and assisted external fixation in a cast is required, followed by a review of the X-rays. If good functional repositioning can be maintained, conservative treatment can be continued. However, if the fracture does not maintain good functional repositioning and has a significant impact on future function, incision and internal fixation should be performed after the local swelling subsides. After the fracture of the big toe, you need to recuperate for 2-3 months and avoid premature weight-bearing, otherwise the fracture may be displaced and affect the healing of the fracture. Try not to smoke or drink carbonated beverages, as these may have an effect on the healing of the fracture.
