A member asked:

Had a boxers fracture and now have a bony lump (most likely callous) at the fracture site. when will it go away or reduce in size?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Might not: alot of boxer fx's are angulated and heal with a deformity or bump. bottom line is that it should not effect function. mainly cosmetic, should not be functional

Dr Seibert agreed
