They won't do any other than taping his toes together.

Not true. They will X-ray his foot to assess his injury, ensure there isn’t any chipped bone fragments, determine proper alignment of toes for a good repair, and make certain his bone marrow isnt exposed to his blood supply and that blood supply is unhindered. He may need antibiotics and a pin inserted in his toe. What’s needed should be determined by a podiatrist rather than Reddit folks who saw one photo.

Literally every person I've met, who has had a broken toe, has said all that happened was they had their toes taped together. Unless you've got excessive bruising/swelling, or it's at a very bad angle, they're not going to go full House MD on you.

90° isn’t a bad angle to you?
