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.

How are there 40 bones in the skull?
The human skull is composed of 22 bones that can be categorized into two main groups: the cranial bones and the facial bones. The cranial bones, which protect the brain, consist of 8 bones, while the facial bones, which form the structure of the face, include 14 bones. Additionally, there are 6 tiny bones in the middle ear (ossicles) that contribute to the overall count, bringing the total to 28 bones in adults. However, the reference to "40 bones" might include other structures or could be a misunderstanding, as the standard count for the adult skull is typically 28 bones.
