Best Answer

Having a broken or dislocated bone can be a recovery process that involves the care of an orthopedic doctor. When people are diagnosed as having an injury, the treating physician often refers the person to an orthopedic doctor. This specialist can set casts and perform surgery to restore a patient's movement. Recovering from a broken bone can take several weeks of being in a cast, during which the patient will remain under this specialist's care.

See An Orthopedic Doctor For Skeletal Problems?

Since an orthopedic doctor is someone who works on the skeletal system, you should always go to him or her if you are having problems in this direction. Do not just go to a doctor that does not know as much because he or she is closer to you. It is worth having to travel a little bit to make sure that you get a doctor who really knows all about the skeletal problems that you have.
