The prefix for bone is ortho-, so the field of bone medicine is orthopedics, or sometimes spelled orthopaedics.

A bone doctor who does not do surgery is an orthopedist. This is sometimes spelled orthopaedist.

Most bone doctors do surgery, because that is the only way to fix some problems such as broken bones, so they are orthopedic surgeons or orthopaedic surgeons.
