Brief Answer:
Due to hematoma.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The lump on the shin bone after an injury can be due to a soft tissue injury and a small hematoma. Taking rest and keeping the leg elevated while resting will help in reducing the swelling. You can do a cold compress for relief. It is likely to subside in 2 weeks.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
