Contusion: You have likely bruised the affected tissues including bone. A direct blow is unlikely to cause a fracture. If you have persistent pain or any symptoms of numbness or tingling in your extremities or loss of extremity muscle strength, see your doctor for imaging. Otherwise treat the symptoms. All the best.
