It sounds like you sustained a nasal fracture at the time of your injury resulting i the bump on your nose.9  It can be corrected with a rhinoplasty most likely.  It will probably involve removing the hump with either a file or a chisel , as well as refracturing the nose  Specifically what needs to be done could be determined in a consult with an experienced plastic surgeon, preferably one with extensive experience in rhinoplasty.
