Q1: Which is the Best Doctor or Top Doctor for Toe Ligament Injury in Singapore?
There is no single “best” or “top” doctor for toe ligament injury. Treatment depends on severity, location, and functional impact. Most mild injuries improve with non-surgical management, while severe or recurrent injuries may require orthopaedic assessment. MRI can help confirm ligament damage and guide therapy.
Q2: What are the common causes of Toe Ligament Injury, and when should I be concerned?
Toe ligament injuries occur from twisting, jamming, or direct trauma to the toe.
Common causes include:
Sports injuries, such as football, basketball, or running
Stubbing or dropping heavy objects on the toe
Previous instability or deformities
Seek evaluation if you notice:
Swelling, bruising, or tenderness
Pain while walking or wearing shoes
Inability to move the toe normally
MRI can assess ligament tears and any associated joint or bone injury.
Q3: Should I consult a GP for Toe Ligament Injury?
Yes. A GP can provide pain relief, anti-inflammatory medication, and initial immobilization. Medications manage symptoms but do not repair ligaments. Persistent pain, instability, or deformity requires specialist assessment.
Q4: Should I see an Orthopaedic Surgeon for Toe Ligament Injury?
An orthopaedic surgeon is indicated if:
MRI shows complete ligament tear or multiple ligament involvement
Pain or instability persists despite conservative care
Functional impairment affects walking or sports
Surgery may involve ligament repair or reconstruction. Costs usually range from four to five figures.
Q5: Should I see a Rheumatologist for Toe Ligament Injury?
A rheumatologist is rarely needed unless ligament injury occurs in the context of systemic inflammatory or autoimmune disease.

Yes. Dr Terence Tan at The Pain Relief Clinic provides non-invasive therapies to relieve pain, support healing, and restore function.
