What Causes Purple Bruising On Leg Where Femur Attaches To Pelvic Bone?

I have an impact injury on the rear of my leg right where the femur attaches to the pelvic bone. There is dark purple bruising where the impact happened. On the front of my leg directly opposite the injury site is extremely tender. Is this typical of a bone bruise?
