There is no "cure" for a fractured toe, the toe needs to be set and wrapped so it does not move. A cast cannot be placed on a single toe and a foot cast does not help as the toe will tend to move each time weight is place on the foot. A crutch or cane can be used for a few weeks but care needs to be taken by the patient not to move the toe.
