Summary
The radiograph is inadequate because it does not show the full pelvis and hips. Otherwise the radiograph shows a displaced subcapital intracapsular neck of femur fracture. I would obtain radiographs in orthogonal views to assess this fracture and consider requesting a CT scan to more fully understand the fracture pattern if necessary.
