Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Extreme Bruising You can get a bruise just about any time your body tissue undergoes any type of injury or trauma. But signs of a bone fracture will indicate this in a much more severe way. Look for dark purple bruises that tend to appear almost immediately after the injury.

Detailed explanation-2: -A fracture is a partial or complete break in the bone. There are many different types of fractures. Bone fractures are often caused by falls, trauma, or as a result of a direct blow or kick to the body. Overuse or repetitive motions can cause stress fractures.

Detailed explanation-3: -Believe it or not, sometimes people can break bones and not realize it. Emergency room physician Dr. Troy Madsen says some bones are more prone to fractures. Swelling, trouble moving a joint, or lingering pain after a few days can all be indications of a bone fracture.
