How can you break your toe?
Like any bone in a limb, a toe can be broken when the force or twisting motion outweighs the strength of a bone. Most toe fractures happen from falls, twisting falls, jamming the toe against an immovable object, or dropping a significant weight on it. Toes can be broken at any point, but often occur at the base or main joint. Toes are NOT normally put into a cast, but are often "Buddy-taped" to another toe to act as a support and splint. A toe fracture is possibly one of the most painful fractures (except the spine). Because of the small area, swelling spreads into adjoining tissues---which means all the toes will be painful, difficult or impossible to bend, and all will likely turn lovely shades from blue, black, purple, and green. With a single broken toe, it will be almost impossible to bear weight or to walk. Because a natural step requires the human foot to "roll" from the toes down on the floor (with heel up), to heel on the floor (as toes lift), a fracture in any toe makes that natural rocking motion exquisitely painful. Although hopping is an idea, the idea is short lived because every hop jars the painful toe/foot. Therefore, most people with a broken toe end up in a chair for several days to a week.
