A member asked:

What kind of doctor should i see if i think i may have fractured a bone in my foot?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

An Orthopod or a: Ankle/foot specialist. Generally these are undisplaced so a cast/splint maybe all you need, but if its displaced or gets so, then you might need it treated surgically. Good luck.
