10 Broken Toe Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Deformity
Some people assume that it is possible to treat a broken toe at home. Sometimes, this is possible provided the injury is minor. However, this is not the best assumption. If a broken toe is not treated, it may lead to permanent deformity.
A broken toe needs proper alignment to allow for proper healing. Failure to align it before it starts to heal can lead to deformity that can range from a simple, visual disfigurement, to a more serious disfigurement that may also affect the foot. Therefore, never ignore a toe injury by waiting it out to heal without knowing the extent of the injury. Get a doctor’s opinion and a thorough examination.
