A fractured leg causes intense pain. Press the leg; if you feel an uneven contour with a strong pain response, it is likely a fracture. Watch the gait, as pain prevents normal walking, causing limping or inability to move.
Because soft tissue is damaged, the fracture site usually shows purple bruising.
