Brief Answer:
needs investigation

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

In cases like yours there is a risk for fracture of the toes. This can only be confirmed or excluded with radiological investigation. In some cases taping one tow with a healthy oneay suffice but sometimes special casts or shoes might be required for an uneventful healing.

I hope you find my comments helpful!
