10 Broken Toe Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: A Cracking Sound During the Breakage
Broken toes range in seriousness from minor to severe and in most cases a doctor is needed to identify how serious the break is. You may hear a popping or cracking sound at the time the injury occurs. However, failure to hear it does not rule out a toe fracture.
That cracking or popping sound is almost a definite symptom of a broken toe; especially if pain, redness, and swelling also occur. To prevent deformity or infection to the broken toe, it is best to seek medical attention immediately and to keep the toe off the ground while heading to see a doctor.
