Wear a splint. After a reduction of your broken toe, a splint is often put in place to support and protect the toe while it heals properly. Alternatively, you may have to wear a supportive compression boot, but either way, you'll likely need the use of crutches over the short term (2 weeks or so).
â¢ EKG (noun) The noun EKG has 1 sense: 1. a graphical recording of the cardiac cycle produced by an electrocardiograph. Familiarity information: EKG used as a noun is very rare.
An ECG is a noninvasive, painless test with quick results. During an ECG, sensors (electrodes) that can detect the electrical activity of your heart are attached to your chest and sometimes your limbs. These sensors are usually left on for just a few minutes. Your doctor may discuss your results with you the same day as your electrocardiogram or at your next appointment.
