hi, I have read your question. You had fusion L4-5 S1 and are having shooting pain on the back of knee and are worried about broken hip.
In my opinion , you would not be able to walk in case of fracture around hip . Still I suggest to get an X ray to Rule out any minor fracture.
I think you have pain because of muscular spasm. I suggest you start pain killers , muscle relaxants and pregabalin along with your doctor's recommendation.
