Generally, yes. Unless it is displaced or if the fracture is into the joint.
Generally toe fractures if in good position can heal on their own. An X-ray is usually a good idea to assess the damage. Best treatment is a surgical shoe.
It depends on the type of fracture. You should have a X-ray to see if the fracture pieces are well positioned.Kathleen Neuhoff, DPM.
If the fracture is not displaced and you stabilize it to the adjacent toe, it can heal. But I would recommend seeing your local podiatrist.
As long as the fracture is within 3-5mm of the bone it should heal uneventfully. If after 6 weeks there is still pain with walking or shoes then you should have it x-rayed for possible fusion of the fracture or removal of the fragment.
Hi! I would have an x ray taken and see the type of fracture. In general, many times with taping the bone will heal in 6-8 weeks.
It depends on the type of fracture, location, and amount of injury...please consult your local podiatrist.
Toe fractures will usually heal if they are stabilized. I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle specialist (podiatrist) for diagnosis and treatment options.

It depends on whether it is displaced or not and the type of fracture. See your doctor.
