Brief Answer:
Foot plain radiography films are necessary.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.

I have read your query.

You should get evaluated with an x-rays in two positions of your foot and toes.

This is necessary to evaluate any fracture or dislocation of the toe bones.

Even with a normal x-rays, immobilization of the toe with proper supporting device for two to three weeks is necessary.

Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
