Hi,I'm interested in purchasing a toe splint. I injuried my second toe by stepping to hard when i played tennis in high school. Since the, the toes won't lay striaght, it's always bent down. I"d like to know if this is what I need to make it striaght.

Answer

A toe splint can be used to retain correct alignment of the bones during the healing process.  However, if the injury has healed, a toe splint is unlike to offer you a permanent solution.  If the problem with your toe is becoming an inconvenience, then it is better to see a foot specialist to diagnose the best alternatives in order to get the toe to properly aligned.

We do sell one for a toe splint.  Finger/Toe Splint
