A toe bruise is a common occurrence, which is a closed injury with mechanical damage to soft tissues. Such injuries occur from a blow with a blunt object or due to a fall.
Most victims seek medical help in the summer, when the entire population wears open shoes, and, consequently, limbs are more injured when something hits or falls on them.
What to do if you have bruised toes if there is no medical center nearby? Let's try to figure it out.
There are 4 degrees of injury severity. In the mildest cases, small abrasions may be present on the skin, but the pain is tolerable and does not last long, and the toes heal quickly. No special treatment is required here. A more serious injury is accompanied by hemorrhage and swelling of the toes, and severe pain. The third and fourth degrees of bruises, which occur as a result of a powerful blow, are considered the most severe. Such injuries usually result in a dislocation or fracture. It is worth noting that an injury to the big toe requires special attention, since it takes more time to restore its functions.
What symptoms may accompany the damage:
The first question that worries a person when he is faced with a foot injury is: “How to distinguish a bruise from a dislocation or fracture of a toe?” . This is quite difficult to do, because pain and stiffness in movement characterize any of these cases. We have already looked at the symptoms of a bruise.
Fractures and cracks are injuries that damage bone tissue, and they have their own characteristics:
When a dislocation occurs, you may notice a displacement of the finger in the joint.
Your first steps if you are injured:
Let's figure out why all this needs to be done. After examining your limb, you can assess the extent of the damage and decide whether to go to the hospital or not.
If you notice damage to your nails or skin, be sure to disinfect these areas to avoid infection. Elevating the injured leg is required to reduce swelling, as well as to create conditions for normal blood circulation. Make sure that your leg is soft and comfortable, it should be in a calm state.
A cold compress of ice cubes reduces 3 main problems - pain, swelling and hematoma, as it constricts blood vessels, and this helps stop bleeding. To prevent frostbite on your feet, apply ice wrapped in a towel for 10 minutes. Take breaks of 20 minutes and apply cold again. It is recommended to immobilize the injured finger with a bandage in case of dislocation or fracture. Severe pain is relieved with ointments: Ketoprofen, Diclofenac, or tablets: Analgin, Sedaptin, Ketorol.
It is almost impossible to distinguish a bruise from a fracture in the first day, so doctors perform an X-ray examination. The bone structure is shown in the image. By maintaining the integrity of the bone tissue, doctors will be able to exclude the formation of a fracture. The dislocation will also be visible on x-ray. But if your fingers are bruised, there will be no changes in the picture.
Injuries always happen at the most inopportune times. But despite this, try to just sit down (lie down) and relax, take off your tight shoes and give your feet some rest. Continuing to perform active movements will only aggravate the condition of the finger and cause even greater swelling at the site of the bruise.
If the pain is tolerable, then it is better not to take painkillers. Especially if you are going to see a doctor. Based on your feelings, a specialist will be able to quickly diagnose and prescribe the correct treatment. Moving a joint with your hands, much less trying to straighten it, is the doctor’s job, but not yours.
What you definitely shouldn’t do is steam the damaged area or apply a heating pad to it. There are also people who like to rub and massage damaged areas - this is strictly forbidden, you can move the bone if there is a fracture, increasing the hematoma and swelling.
In the absence of complications, treatment of bruised toes consists of the following steps:
Treatment for a fracture will depend on the location of the injury.
If the big toe is damaged, a plaster cast is applied from the ankle joint to the end of the sore toe. Restoration of bone structures in this case lasts approximately one and a half months.
To rehabilitate any other toe, you will need a plaster splint and a little less time for tissue restoration, 4-6 weeks. If the area of the nail phalanx is damaged, then you just need to fix it with the adjacent healthy finger using an adhesive plaster. However, before fixing, you need to remove the formed blood from under the nail, if any.
It happens that more than one finger gets hit. What to do if you hurt several fingers and your leg is swollen? Symptoms indicate a severe bruise, when both the hematoma and swelling spread to the foot. It is better to contact a traumatologist, take a picture and immediately begin treatment.
Many victims are also interested in what to do if the nail is damaged when the big toe is bruised. First of all, treat the nail plate with a 5% iodine solution or other antiseptic that is on hand. Apply a pressure bandage. Try to relieve swelling as quickly as possible with a cold compress. In order to reduce the area of hematoma growth, speed up the healing process and reduce pain, treat the injured area with Ricinol emulsion.
When the hematoma grows, it seems to “burst” the skin, leading to rejection of the nail, and increases the pain with its pressure on the nerve endings. To relieve pressure, when treating a bruised toenail, the nail plate is punctured or removed altogether to release the blood. This should be done immediately, before the blood clots, by contacting a medical facility.
Although a bruised finger may seem like a minor problem, it should be taken seriously.
It’s good if the injury is minor and will go away on its own.
But, having received a strong blow to a limb, if you refuse medical help and fail to perform first aid, complications may appear: osteomyelitis, panaritium, purulent inflammation. And complications are much more severe and painful. Remember this, take care of your health.
