Question : I have a break (fracture) in right foot proximal phalange, how do I treat? Smallest toe

Answered by Dr. Saurabh Gupta (43 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Immobilization by strapping.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.

If the fracture is in place in the x-ray, it needs immobilization by strapping of smallest toe with the fourth toe. Avoid weight bearing on smallest toe.

Elevate the limb and rest well.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.

Take care
