Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
It could be due to muscle or ligament tear or bone fracture.
Get X- ray of that area done to check for any bone fracture.
If its a ligament or muscle tear needs to be sutured back.
Consult your orthopedic doctor for examination and management.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take
care.

Dr. Vidya
