A Dr. Jeanne Morrison, PhD , Family Medicine, answered. You can manage a closed fracture on a daily basis by elevation of the extremity, ice in the early stage (be careful not to burn the skin - keep a layer of padding between the ice bag and the skin), and rest. Good nutrition and adequate hydration is also important.
Treatment for traumatic fractures depends on the break itself and may include these options: 1  Rest. 2  Splinting. 3  Rigid or stiff-soled shoe. 4  Buddy taping the fractured toe to another toe is sometimes appropriate, but in other cases, it may be harmful. 5  Surgery.
