    There are two ways to determine a fracture. One would be bone sticking out of the skin indicating a compound fracture. Obviously that's not the case. The other way is an x-ray or other type of imaging.

    It could be broken or it could be a bone bruise or muscle bruise. You need to see your doctor.
