Especially-bad stubbed toes often result in a fracture (a break in the toe's bone). In this case, it's usually necessary to receive an X-ray, cast, or foot brace. Signs of a fracture include: An audible crack or pop at the time of injury. A toe that visually appears bent, kinked, or crooked.
By Mayo Clinic Staff. A broken toe is a common injury that most often occurs when you drop something on your foot or stub your toe. In most cases, a broken toe can be immobilized by taping it to a neighboring toe. But if the fracture is severe â particularly if it involves your big toe â you may need a cast or even surgery to ensure that your broken toe heals properly. Most broken toes heal well, usually within four to six weeks.
