Hi...

The hard swelling on your hip is due to calcification....there would have been bleeding after the fall and that same would have got calcified...which might appear to be a swollen bone... Initially you would have had pain on touch and as it gets calcified and healed you had a hard painless swelling..
it usually happens when there is bleeding occurs very close to the bone attachment...

As long as it doesn't disturb you in your functional activities ...should not be concern..

Hope this is helpful for you
kindly revert back in case you need any further help in this regard....
