The authors present a case of a traumatic hallux (big toe) fracture in a 77-year-old male who was walking near a construction site when a brick fell and hit his big toe on his right foot. This case report highlights the usage of different treatment types in a toe fracture and different techniques used to diagnose the fracture.
