AB  - Toe  fractures  are  the  most  common  fracture  of  the  foot.  They  result  most  commonly  from  a  direct  blow  (e.g.,  from  an  object  falling  on  an  unprotected  toe)  or  a  “stubbing”  injury.1,2  The  incidence  of  toe  fractures  has  been  estimated  at  140  cases  per  100,000  people  per  year,  with  the  first  and  fifth  toes  being  the  most  commonly  affected.1,3  The  significance  of  toe  fractures  depends  greatly  upon  which  digit  is  affected.  Most  significant  is  a  fracture  of  the  great  toe  due  to  being  the  main  propulsive  segment  of  the  forefoot.4  Many  patients  do  not  present  to  the  Emergency  Department  as  they  consider  the  injury  trivial.  Those  who  do  present  often  do  so  because  of  severe  pain  and/or  a  large  subungual  hematoma.
