Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear patient
You have got contusion on your shin due to blunt trauma and as a result blood gets deposited in subcutaneous tissue. This blood undergoes colour changes as part of process of healing and one of them is green color. There is nothing to worry. You should apply ice packs and take tab chymoral forte thrice a day for 3 day to reduce swelling and improve healing. All the best.
