Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My husband had a blunt trauma injury to his rt shin around 2 pm today. Tonight he noticed that his leg was hurting and looked at the injury. The lump is large, white, egg size, approx 2.5 inches round. He is 60 and is not on blood thinners. Is there a risk of a clot dislodging and traveling to his lungs?
no need to worry. it's May be a minor fracture or bony injury led to blood collection. do a regional X-ray..and put it here. ice packing and a knee cap is necessary..
