General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

Surely yes, for the following reasons:
This part of the body is on the midway, has a bone under the skin and the fall can cause impacted fracture that is not easily diagnosed in some cases.
Hence I would advise you the following:
First of all, consult your Doctor for clinical examination and get at least an X-ray to confirm.
Take a shot of Tetanus toxoid.
Get an appropriate local treatment with Liquid Betadine and dressing.
Oral anti-inflammatory and antibiotics as required.
The opinion of Orthopedic Surgeon if required.
The numbness will usually go away within a few weeks or months once the healing of the nerves occurs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, General Surgeon
