Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
If there is a fracture then it can't be treated at home and only xrays can prove it and sometimes immobilization is required.. Otherwise,it is just hematoma and muscle contusion and it can be treated with ice,rest and nonsteroid painkillers.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
