Broken hip

2018-01-06 19:46:41
I broke my left hip at work. It was displaced but stable. No surgery needed. They didn't even give me crutches. Workers comp says heavy lifting couldn't cause this. I know it happened at work. I felt a snap. Is it possible this could have been a small fracture I was unaware of and got worse with heavy lifting.

This is possible.. It might have been an avulsion fracture of lesser tochanter, or any muscular avulsion fracture caused by a strong muscle pull.
