Hi I fell on my wrist about four years ago and had a hair line fracture my doctor said but after the swelling and other symptoms went away i noticed a small bump on the top side of the wrist but my doctor looked at the x ray said its nothing. It doesnt hurt it just pops out when i move my wrist.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. From description , this hard lump most probably formed due to haematoma formation (collection of blood) which might get fibrosed or calcified. It will take few weeks to months to get disappear. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination of swelling. Meanwhile give hot fomatation over it, You can take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily).
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
