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.
I see broken toes in athletes all the time. Most of the time the toe was broken by kicking a piece of furniture in the home. When this happens, there is usually immediate pain. The next day there is swelling and lots of bruising in the toe that is broken. There may also be bruising in the ball of the foot or top of the foot as well.
