Yikes !!!!!!: In order to increase your chances of not having catastrophic results from the injury, I advise you to seek medical attention. Often injuries are more than what they appear to be, especially after x-ray imaging.

Yes,: i recommend a podiatrist as I am one, but an Orthopedist is just as equipped. You need to know if you have a fracture, also if the nail is ripped and bleeding you need to make sure you don't have an open fracture as this would require making sure your tetanus prophylaxis is updated and antibiotics...
