Question:
How long should a broken toe be bandaged for it to heal properly?
Answer:
The stability and severity of the toe fracture will determine the healing time. This can be evaluated by an x-ray. If stable and properly treated, most toe fractures will heal in about 4-6 weeks. Other factors that can affect the healing time of a broken bone include nutrition and smoking.
