What Causes Painful Toe Inspite Of Its Fracture?

I broke my 4th tow on my right foot two years ago. I went and had it xrayed, after I broke it and they told me it was a spiral fracture.Now it has been giving me some pain and discomfort lately. is it possible that the bones have seperated? When I bend my toes it clicks into its spot.

Hello,

There are few possibilities which cause pain even after 2 yr of injury in your great toe:

1. Fracture get malunited, if the fracture fragments get united at the incorrect position it will result in pain:

2. Fracture still not united i.e. nonunion.

3. If there are arthritis changes started in your toe then your toe will be pain painful

4. increased serum uric acid also result in pain in the great toe so get it checked

Get the CT SCAN done to rule out any of the above possibilities.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Jaideep Gaver, Orthopaedic Surgeon
