Exams and Tests

A doctor will ask questions to determine how the toe was injured and will examine the injured toe and possibly check for other injuries.

It is best to seek medical evaluation soon after the injury to ensure proper treatment and healing.

  • A doctor may take an x-ray to see if a toe is broken.

  • X-ray are not always necessary to make the diagnosis of a broken toe, especially if the break is in one of the smaller toes.
