A member asked:

Treatments for a fractured or bruised hip?

Dr. Bertrand Kaper answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Reconstructive Surgery

See an Orthopaedist: Bruised hips will heal with conservative care (rest and therapy) but a fracture may require surgery. Best to see an orthopaedic surgeon and have x-rays taken to identify bruise vs.Fracture. Appropriate treatment can then be recommended.
