Symptom #7: Protruding Bone

A bone protruding from a broken toe is never a good sign, for which reason, you should consult a doctor immediately. A protruding bone can be extremely painful. The exposure can also lead to opportunistic infection. The injured toe should, therefore, be kept out of harm’s way.

If a broken toe is left untreated, the affected person could suffer serious effects such as arthritis, especially if the toe is fractured near a joint. Besides, if the toe is not properly aligned before it heals, it could lead to permanent deformity. This can result in problems when walking, moving the toe, and posture. It can also lead to chronic pain and discomfort.
