How to cure a fracture?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no "cure" for a fractured toe, the toe needs to be set and wrapped so it does not move. A cast cannot be placed on a single toe and a foot cast does not help as the toe will tend to move each time weight is place on the foot. A crutch or cane can be used for a few weeks but care needs to be taken by the patient not to move the toe.

What is hairline fracture?

Asked by Wiki User

A fracture is just another word for a crack in your bone, and the word "hairline" is to imply that the crack itself is literally as thin as a strand of hair. If you knocked a vase over and a thin line appeared, but the vase did not break, that would be like a hairline fracture to your bone.

How can you break your toe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Most fractures occur from: * Sudden accelleration or decelleration -- car collisions, falls * Torsion -- sharp twists -- side car collisions etc. * Penetration trauma -- bullet wounds * Crushing or compression -- car acciddents, something falling on you * Repetitive Impact (jumping up and down for a few hours on a very hard surface can cause shin splints -- small, linear stress fractures).
