I have been enjoying my NHL Center Ice subscription down here in Florida as of late. It allows me to watch every Pittsburgh Penguins game that I can. (I am happy as a fan that most of them have been wins). Along with all the great trades the team has made, there is news that Kris Letang, the Pens all-star defenseman, suffered a "lower body injury." Hockey does not have to say much about a player's injury but most sources said he is suffering from a broken toe.
It is not just athletes who suffer from broken toes. Anyone can injure his or her toe to lead to fracture. The most common way I see it happen is from bumping the toe against a piece of furniture.
Many people don't seek treatment because they believe there is "nothing that can be done." Often times not much treatment is required but the condition can be painful. Compensation can occur from trying to walk on a painful foot and this can lead to other problems. Additionally, if an injury is significant enough to cause a broken toe it is not uncommon for another part of the foot to be injured as well. Therefore, if you do injure your toe (or foot) a trip to the podiatrist is always a good idea.
