Buddy taping, also known as toe taping, is a technique used to protect and support an injured pinky toe. It involves taping the injured toe to the adjacent toe to provide stability and prevent further damage.
Buddy taping can be beneficial for a variety of pinky toe injuries, including sprains, fractures, and dislocations. It helps to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation, and can also help to prevent the toe from becoming misaligned. In some cases, buddy taping may also be used to treat ingrown toenails.
