What Treatment Is Suggested For Tearing Of Tendon?

I broke my great toe in three places in jan of this year. I was out of work till april. Went back to work which I stand for eight hours a day. My toe is stiff and my dr. requested a mri which they are doing on monday thinking it might be a torn tendon. If this is what the results are what is done to fix the problem?

hi,

Thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough clinical musculoskeletal assessment is advised along with MRI.

As your doctor suspect it to be tendon tear, an MRI will reveal the fact and help understand better. Also, if the great toe was broke, was there any surgery performed that time? If not or if yes and treated conservatively then a Physical therapy is advised to regain the joint ROM and also strength of the muscular system.

Also, understanding that foot is a complex anatomical structure and needs a thorough assessment and with physical therapy you can be back to feet again.
