From the X-ray you shared, your grandmother appears to have a fracture around the hip joint (likely the neck of femur/hip fracture) on the side that is circled. This type of fracture is common in elderly people due to osteoporosis (weak bones) and even a minor fall or slip can cause it. A hip fracture usually leads to severe pain, inability to stand or walk, and shortening or external rotation of the leg. this is a serious condition and generally requires urgent orthopedic evaluation, as most such fractures need surgical treatment for pain relief and to allow mobilization.
