Hi all.
I have a 40yr old female patient who has an oblique fracture of right 5th. Proximal phalanx. Has been using a darco boot to get around which was issued by GP. This has helped to some extent but she is keen to get something else which might help more. The injury occured ue to accidental kick of chair leg. Toe is slowly getting better. Pain is slowly improving. Biomechanically nothing stood outto me. Is there anything else that could be tried. I have not included a full history here but will put one in if something thinks it relevent. Are there any other devices or tricks which may help

Thanks.
