Hi fellows, last april I had a fracture on second toe joint upon initial xray at clinic. The next month I went to Columbia Hsptl for another check and admission as my feet is swollen (due to infection). I did a Xray and MRI scan on my feet, specifically on the second toe.

Doc said I'm having freiberg disease stage 3 to 4 as the x ray are showing cavity there even up to now and no improvement. He suggested me to relocate the joint head to certain angle which are still in good condition. I see this as not a permanent solution, as in, the joint area might wear again, as my second toe is longer than first toe by 1cm. it'll still take the most pressure.

The question is should I just suggest to doctor to remove the second toe entirely? I'm still below 30 Y.O..

sounds like very serious to remove the whole toe. listen to the doctors, they will know what to do best.
removing the toe might not solve your problem even.
