Talk:Broken toe

Wide firm shoes
As discussed elsewhere (:D) the doctor I spoke to on the phone, advised me to use a shoe with a wide and firm toe box, to prevent compression and to protect against re-breaking.

I made a few layperson searches, and found similar mentions in these places. I'll leave it up to you whether they're suitable refs and how to summarize! Cheers again for your creation here! Quiddity (talk) 05:32, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
 * "During this time, it may be helpful to wear a wider than normal shoe." - https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/toe-and-forefoot-fractures
 * "In some cases, the doctor may prescribe a walking boot. This will allow you to bear weight on your injured foot, while protecting the toe so it can heal." - https://www.emedicinehealth.com/broken_toe/article_em.htm
 * "A hard-soled, sturdy, and supportive shoe or boot should be worn. A doctor may give the patient a special shoe to wear if the foot or toes are very swollen." - https://www.medicinenet.com/broken_toe/article.htm#casting_a_broken_toe

are you sure about this?
when you go to the toe article, the infobox contains many codes for identifying the specific part of the anatomy. why in the articles about fractures is that kind of data included in a paragraph instead? it should be on wikidata. 95.41.198.230 (talk) 04:04, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Template:Medical resources would be a good start to figuring out how to resolve this 95.41.198.230 (talk) 04:16, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
