See answer : An orthopedic doctor would be the best type of doctor to see for proper diagnosis and treatment. Treatment depends on the exact nature of the injury; whether there is a fracture; and on the amount of pain, tenderness, swelling, and bruising present and may consist of rest, elevation, ice, and observation vs splint vs casting vs surgery in select cases.
