Can you break or crack your nose cartilage?

sophie bowen
Around 3 weeks ago I got elbowed in the nose it clicked and was bruised for 3 days it was slightly bent to the right however it still hurts when I touch the left side of my nose and I can feel a crack, when the impact happend it didn’t bleed but it has made me not remember much from that day it gave me a headache and my whole nose was red. Is there any point still going to a surgery?
