That is the only treatment done for a FX toe.

So you are saying you NEVER reduced the fracture?? You let the two separate bone fragments remain that way?? Good way to end up with a compound situation. Buddy taping IS the standard course of treatment HOWEVER in the presence of a fracture ( break) it is done after the fracture has been reduced.
