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.
In addition to toe fracture, a stubbed toe can result in a ligament sprain, contusion, dislocation, tendon injury, or other soft tissue injury. These injuries are caused by the same mechanisms that produce toe fractures. Your doctor may order radiographs to determine whether you have a toe fracture or other injury. Stubbed toe injuries in children, particularly of the big toe, can result in a more serious injury.
