Broken hip??
Details are not clear.
Severity of injury has to be really assessed.
Most commonly pelvic fractures are associated with pelvic vessel injuries- illiac arteries.
Associated with severe blood loss.
Needs pelvic ext fixation.
If drain out put is increasing and clinical signs if anemia then its really a worrying thing.
Please see your orthopedician immediately.
