What to do if i want to become a doctor who fixes broken bones, btu not have to do surgery, is there a special doctor?

Need surgery trainin: A 'bone' doctor is an orthopedic surgeon. One you finish residency, you can always elect to focus just on nonoperative orthopedic care. However, the training (residency) would be in orthopedic surgery which is a surgical specialty.
