What is the "technical name" for a bone doctor?

[disneychrista]

My DD hurt her knee last Monday and it isn't getting any better. Her regular Doc has scheduled an appointment for her to go to a "bone doctor" but I can't make out his scrawl to who or where. I want to try to find it in the phone book but need to technical term for it.

TIA

Do hope she feels better soon.

A Bone dr is also called an Orthopedist. Some are Orthopedic Surgeons.

And sometimes they are shortened to "orthopods" . . .
