When is a hematoma a problem?
I slipped on ice while going down stairs and fell HARD and landed on my upper rump (rear end) with massive impact. I had hit the edge of the step. Owie!!!! I had a MASSIVE bruise that is healing nicely almost 3 weeks later but a rather large bump remains and is quite prominent. It is hard. I am thinking it might be damaged tissue or a hematoma.
What happens if you have a hematoma in your thigh?
Sometimes a hematoma keeps oozing (bleeding) uncontrollably and turns into compartment syndrome. Basically, this is a continuation of the hematoma that increases in size, causing actual compression of nerves, blood vessels, and other structures. Thigh compartment syndrome is uncommon and often goes unrecognized.
Can a femur fracture cause a large hematoma?
Fracturing your thigh bone ( femur) is commonly associated with a significant amount of bleeding and will often result in a large hematoma. Hematomas usually clear on their own, slowly getting smaller over time as the accumulated blood is absorbed.

How big was my hematoma when it was removed?
The hematoma grew to about the size of 1/2 a watermelon! I just had it removed surgically and had to be put under, which I did not want to do. I now have a drain for another five days and then hopefully I will be done with this. Not much pain now, so you need to see a surgeon. Loading… Ellen over a year ago
