Why Is The Lump On Anterior Tibia Mid Shaft Due To Fall Rising Towards Ankle ?
Hello. My husband had a large piece of plywood fall on his anterior tibia mid shaft about a month ago. It bled of course, then seemed to heal. He has since told me that a lump rose up and traveled distally towards his ankle (very near the maleolus) I am concerned it may be a clot that may dislodge and cause problems.

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that your husband may be having collection of blood in the shin.This get accumulated under the skin and causes hematoma. It is not a serious situation and it will dissolve by its own. I would recommend you to use hot water fomenatation and volitran ointmnent.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
