Brief Answer:
Suspect hip dislocation or fracture

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for giving me an opportunity to address your query.

I were to suspect dislocation/fracture of the hip.I were to examine, do an X-ray and plan for a reduction/surgery depending on my findings.Both are equally important and common and can be ruled out on clinical examination.

Hope this answers your query.
