Carpal boss surgery. hard bone like lump formed shortly after surgery. larger than original boss. is this likely to be bone or scaring internally? if so is there a name for the scarring? scaring on outside healthy and normal. thank you?

Is this a return of the carpal boss or unsuccessful surgery? What symptoms are you experiencing? What does the hand surgeon think? Is a second opinion worthwhile? I doubt you'll rush into another surgical procedure.

There was no need for carpal boss. Now scarring and swelling developed. Might subside with time

There is no name for scaring. It might take a long time for the lump to subside. Stay with the operative surgeon
