Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi In my opinion this lump is healing soft tissue hematoma( Organised hematoma) and will take few weeks to disappear. I would suggest mild painkillers , hot fomentation for 4-6 weeks . If it does not become small or disappear then we will have to investigate, Also keep using your leg normally.
