কারণসমূহ

A toe fracture is caused by trauma to the bone. Trauma can result from:

  • Dropping something on your toe
  • Stubbing your toe
  • Falling down
  • Direct blow to the toe

ঝুঁকির কারণ

These risk factors increase your chance of developing a toe fracture. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:

  • উন্নত বয়স
  • Postmenopausal
  • পেশী ভর হ্রাস
  • অস্টিওপোরোসিস
  • কম পুষ্টি উপাদান
  • যোগাযোগ ক্রীড়া অংশগ্রহণ
  • Not wearing shoes

লক্ষণ

If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to a toe fracture. These উপসর্গ সৃষ্টি হতে পারে অন্যান্য শর্ত দ্বারা। আপনার যদি এইগুলির মধ্যে কোনটি থাকে তবে আপনার ডাক্তারকে বলুন:

  • ব্যাথা
  • Swelling and tenderness
  • Stiffness in the injured area
  • Inability to move toe
  • Bruising in injured area
  • Numbness or tingling in the toes
  • Visible deformity in the toe area
  • Difficulty walking (sometimes)

রোগ নির্ণয়

The doctor will ask about your symptoms, level of physical activity, how the injury occurred, and will examine the injured area. Your doctor may take an x-ray of the foot, but this is not always needed.

চিকিৎসা

Treatment will depend on how serious the injury. Proper treatment can prevent long-term complications or problems with the toe joint, such as misalignment and immobility. Treatment involves:

  • Putting the pieces of the bone together, which may require anesthesia and/or surgery
  • হাড় নিজেই নিরাময় করার সময় টুকরা একসাথে রাখা

Realigning the Bones

In many toe fractures, the bone is broken but the two pieces are in proper position. If the bones are out of position, the doctor will put the bones back into place. This is usually done without surgery. However, if your fracture is severe, you may need pins or screws to hold the bones in place. Each of these will require surgery. Sometimes, the joint of the toe is injured in the fracture, and severe joint injury may require surgery. Toe fractures in children may involve the growth plates. This may require that a specialist examine the fracture. Surgery is also possible. Once the bones are realigned, they need to be held in place while healing. The fractured toe may be taped to the toe next to it, or you may need a walking cast with a toe plate.

ঔষধ

The following drugs may help reduce inflammation and pain:

  • আইবুপ্রোফেন (মোট্রিন, অ্যাডভিল)
  • নেপ্রোক্সেন (আলেভ, নেপ্রোসিন)
  • অ্যাসিটামিনোফেন (টাইলেনল)
  • অ্যাসপিরিন

If you have a fracture, check with your doctor before taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications.

নিজের যত্ন

  • Rest—Do not participate in sports or activities until your toe is fully healed.
  • Ice—Apply ice or a cold pack to your toe for 15-20 minutes, four times a day for several days. This reduces pain and swelling. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel. Do not apply ice directly to your skin.
  • Elevation—Keep the injured foot raised above the level of your heart for 48 hours (such as on a pillow). This will drain fluid and reduce swelling.
