Toe Malunion
I broke my big toe in June of 2017. It resualted in a Malunion, with a bumb at the middle joint of the toe that is constantly red. It occasionally causes me pain and is very sensitive to tempature. I was wondering what the long term effects of the Malunion may be and what the options are for fixing it.

No side effects of malunion apart from mechanical symptoms.
Try:
1. Shoe modification to avoid direct contact.
2. Use protective gel/silicone pads to protect the malunion bump.
3. Ice pack application to reduce inflammation.
4. Medications like Enzomac will help.
Next Steps
share x-rays.
correction is by osteotomy and fixation or
just by shaving of the bump.
