An orthopedic doctor, also known as an orthopedist, is a medical doctor (MD) or a doctor of osteopathy (DO) who specializes in the musculoskeletal system-bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Orthopedic surgeons are specialized in the musculoskeletal system; many orthopedists specialize in certain areas of the body, such as foot and ankle, hand and wrist, back, or neck and spine. Additionally, orthopedic doctors may focus on a specific field of orthopedics, like pediatrics, sports medicine, and trauma.

You should see an orthopedic doctor about this - the ankle is a very complicated joint with a dozen or so bones involved. The doctor should be able to get the bones back into alignment and then immobilize the joint so the bones don't move. Once everything is locked in place, the rest is up to time and your body to fix. You must be very careful to not place weight on the broken ankle, not twist or rotate the ankle and in general stay off the leg entirely. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to accomplish this.
