How Long Will The Hematoma On Tibia Take To Heal?

About 5 - 6 weeks ago I sustained a hematoma to my tibia, about 8 - 9inches above (and toward the center of) my ankle bone. It swelled up to almost the size of a baseball. Ankles and upper foot eventually swelled as well and turned blue/black. Swelling down considerably now, but there is still an enlarged area on the tibia. No fracture, as per xray. How long will this injury take to heal completely? Will this bump on my lower leg ever go away?
