is there a name for bone specialist?
Question:
Answers:
NOT osteopath.
Orthopedic (or orthopaedic, depending on where you are from) surgeons generally take care of broken bones and such. They're also known as Orthopedists or Orthopods.
If the bone problem is metabolic, such as osteoporosis or osteopenia, then it falls into the domain of an Endocrinologist or general practitioner (family physician, internist, etc.).
If you are looking for the name of a doctor who specializes in joint problems (arthritis, etc.), the specialist you seek is a Rheumatologist.

An orthopaedic doctor.
"An orthopaedic doctor is a surgeon who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of bone and skeleton-related problems. This could be anything from a broken finger to a hip replacement, repairing damaged tendons or delicate spinal surgery."
