Brief Answer:
May need surgical fixation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your health concerns ,
It seems that you fractured your big toe with a displacement of the fractured fragments. In case the displacement is more and the fracture has started healing then the bone fragments need to be aligned surgically and fixed with wires. You can upload your X-ray for a better evaluation.
Do consult an orthopedician and get the distortion corrected surgically.
Regards.
