For patients who show toe trauma, if there is obvious toe swelling, pain, limited movement after the trauma, and see subcutaneous blood stasis in the toe, and cause deformity of the toe, and abnormal movement of the toe when pressed, and show bone rubbing and bone rubbing feeling. This situation indicates that the toe has been fractured, it is necessary to timely X-ray examination to see the type of fracture and the degree of fracture displacement. The likelihood of a toe fracture is lower if the patient has swelling, pain, but no significant limitation of toe movement, and no significant subcutaneous ecchymosis, deformity, or significant abnormal movement or bone rubs and grabs after toe trauma.
