How can you tell if your hip is broken?

While signs of a hip fracture are unique to the individual, common signs include pain and/or bruising or swelling in one's hip or groin areas. One should also consult a doctor if one is unable to put weight on one leg or the other, or this leg turns outward or is shorter than the other leg. All of these are signs of something amiss, fracture or not, so it's a good idea to see a doctor if even one of this symptoms arises.
