When I broke mine it was at right angles to my foot. The doctor did his thing and my toe is OK today. It does not tell me about the weather so he must have done it correctly.
My toe was pointing south when the rest of my toes were pointing west - stupid door frame jumped out and attacked my bare foot!
I WAS able to tape it to my foot and that reduced the pain immensely - HOWEVER - it was still dislocated when we got to the emergency room - and I am so glad that I had it taken care of.
In my opinion, it is not worth taking a chance on having foot pain for the rest of one's life.
