Corrective surgery for old toe break

Question

Asked for Male, 30 Years

4 or 5 years ago I broke my big toe for the second time sliding down the stairs at night. The original break damaged my nail bed to a degree, but it healed enough that I never noticed it again. The second break was worse and was cracked from side to side. The bone was not displaced. I think that I may have had a loose bone fragment. While the toe is not in constant pain, occasionally i have an uncomfortable clicking feeling. Is this something that could be corrected with little risk?
