What Causes Sever Bruise On Thigh And Knee?

Friend of mine took a nasty spill and has a severe bruise on right thigh, goose egg/bruise on left knee and hairline fracture on left elbow. Took her to ER and she has appt with ortho on Mon. Am concerned she's using her left arm too much even with splint. Is there cause for concern...especially since there's a lot of swelling and pain??
Thanks.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that if this is the condition of defuse swelling and bruises then this condition need to be seen by the orthopedic surgeon because symptomatic treatment could give temporary relief, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
