Hand fracture: C can result in a slight bump or thickening of a bone. This is a natural process where the body makes extra bone called callus. Often overtime this bone bump diminishes however sometimes the bones they sticker and looks and feels a little bit different forever. There is much variety in how bone feel after an injury and something that really should be spoken about with your treating physician.

Yes in jointfracture: Bone spurs usually arise in responses to wear and tear over time and is a hallmark of arthritis. Patients with fractures involving the articular surfaces are more prone to develop arthritis at an earlier age in those joints than in a non-injured joint. Bone spurs can also develop at tendon and ligament insertions into bones. See a hand surgeon.
