@stepsistersdpm: Podiatry Hack Part 8: You’re probably buddy taping all wrong 🩹 Most people buddy tape their toes by wrapping straight across the middle. But if you have a fracture at the proximal phalanx, that tape is completely missing the injury! Because the base of your toe sits lower than it looks, you need to use a criss-cross ribbon technique starting all the way at the base and working your way up to properly stabilize it. Save for later!! Drop a 🦶 if you’ve been doing this wrong! #brokentoe #brokenfoot #taping #podiatry #podiatrist
That's the toe I have fractured, except I split the middle second down the center.

Sam Meyers, DPM :
Great video I can’t wait to draw out the fracture on my patients toe next time that actually is a really helpful visualization! I had a patient yesterday who had a fifth proximal phalanx fracture found on X-ray at urgent care and she was shocked when I showed her where the fracture on X-ray correlates with her toe (not at all where she expected)!
