Tip of Nose Curves but Clicks Back into Place When I Press

Burnaby4917
The tip of my nose curves slightly to my right, I feel a little bump on that side and when i press against it clicks back into place and straightens out..once I let go it goes back to being crooked. I may have injured this at some point playing hockey but don't recall when, any ideas to what it could be? Could it be the cartilage is out of place? Does this require surgery to fix and can it be fixed? Thank you
