A phalanx is a toe bone. Thus a fractured proximal phalanx is a broken toe.
Yes.
I have broken my toe in two places.
0.o...never. You might wanna check to see if that is a gangrene infection. But it could just be a bruise from stubbing your toe. See a doctor ASAP.
Yes, only the toe is broken not the ankle.
Not always, your toe is purple because you have broken blood vessels in your toe and the blood has leaked out into your tissue. Your body will absorb this spilled blood in time and you can watch your toe turn all kinds of colors during this process. To see if you have indeed broken a bone and not sprained it, you need to have an x-ray.
Place a pad between the broken toe, and the next one to separate them, but not too much. Then use medical tape to tape the two toes together to stabilize the break. Do not change the dressing, unless it really needs it. Do not get it wet. Keep it on for 3 to 4 weeks. Then check to see how it is. Do not keep the dressing on for weeks and weeks, but if you feel that it needs a bit longer, redress for another week. If you have a broken 'big' toe go to the hospital, but for the others the treatment is as above. For big toes, the doctor will often tell you to wear an orthopedic flat shoe, and though it looks dorky, it will help your big toe heal properly. You won't realize how much you use it until you can't.
