Toe and Forefoot Fractures. Nearly one-fourth of all the bones in your body are in your feet, which provide you with both support and movement. A broken (fractured) bone in your forefoot (metatarsals) or in one of your toes (phalanges) is often painful but rarely disabling. Most of the time, these injuries heal without operative treatment. Stress fractures frequently occur in the bones of the forefoot that extend from your toes to the middle of your foot.
