Traumatic hit injury can lead to bruise due to hematoma formation. If there is fracture in your leg bone then it is difficult to walk on it You will need X ray of knee and leg. Clinical examination is important to rule out knee ligament injury
Apply crepe bandage over leg or use supportive splint. Do ice fomentation and rest to leg.
