A member asked:

My son injured his shin one year ago today. they x-rayd it. wasn't broken, said it was a contusion. knot is still there. not sore though. y is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable: Some shin or other bony injuries can produce a buildup of bony material at the site that can last quite a while. It's similar to the knot that forms on a tree bark if it sustains a cut. It usually remodels over the years and disappears.
