I found this online and this sounds like it is far from minor?
What is a knee bone bruise? Bone bruises are also known as periosteal. The most painful bruises, they can sometimes take months to heal. What happens in a bone bruise is a compressive force pushes the in on itself. When this happens the outer layer of the bone, which is fibrous, breaks down. This leads to leaking of fluid.
The term knee bone bruise is a misnomer, as the knee isn't a bone. The effected area is actually the tip of the femur where it connects to the knee.
What the symptoms of a knee bone bruise? You're going to have soreness and pain to the touch as you do with a normal bruise, but a bone bruise will typically not swell. It'll be difficult to walk, and there may be discoloration in the area of the knee bone bruise.
