In certain instances, a fractured pinky toe may need additional treatment. Sometimes a complex fracture can occur, and the pieces of bone do not line up, one rotates, or there is significant separation.
Best Answer: You can walk without crutches, they aren't needed for a broken pinky toe. Keep it buddy taped, put ice on it every now and then for swelling. The break itself should heal within 2 weeks but the swelling and ligament damage will take a little longer. If if hurts to walk, walk more on your heel and inner foot. I've broken at least 5 toes and my pinky toes repeatedly. Not much you can do about it but take pain meds and let it heal.
