Broken toes are usually very minor injuries and there are usually very few complications.

If you break your toe and leave it untreated, it usually cannot cause infection throughout your entire body. However, open or compound toe fractures have the potential to cause infection because there is a break in the skin and the bone is exposed. Open toe fractures must be treated to prevent infection and can only be treated by a physician using antibiotics and surgery.

If you have an open toe fracture or are worried about the possibility of infection, you need to see a physician as soon as possible.
