HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Part of the increased size that you are noticing may be related to formation of scar tissue due to the trauma.
It should resolve with time though this can sometimes take a few months.
If it is bent, you may need to see your doctor to see if there is an old fracture.
I hope this helps
