00:01:05 Treatment of a broken pinky toe
Bumping your 5th toe on an object in your house is very common. If you hear a crack and experience pain, you may have fractured your pinky toe.
If you're experiencing swelling, discoloration, and pain, you should see a podiatrist to determine if it's broken. X-rays will tell us the extent of the injury and whether it's stable or unstable. If the toe is aligned properly but the toe is painful you'll need to get it checked out before a hiking or camping trip.
Treatment for a broken pinky toe Includes:
-taping the pinky toe to the fourth toe, and potentially even the third toe. Use small, self-stick material such as CoFlex or Coban, start with wrapping the fifth toe and continue by wrapping around the injured toe and its buddies. This technique is known as buddy splinting and will provide stability to the affected area.
-wear a postoperative surgical sandal, which is a flat sandal with Velcro that doesn't bend, allowing the toe to heal if you plan to primarily hang around the campground.
-wear lightweight hiking boots if you plan to be more active.
Seek medical advice if the pain persists or the injury worsens.
