You're welcome. A radiograph will show if the limb is broken, but I wonder if a vet can fix it?

It would be very hard for a vet to mend. Amphibians are very good at regeneration, even metamorphosed ones - provided the leg is not outwardly injured and the frog is otherwise healthy, with a healthy appetite, it will probably recover. Last night I found a Texas toad (Bufo speciosus) missing the lower part of her front right leg (it had obviously been bitten off or lost judging by the way the tissue had grown over the elbow stump a long time ago - it was not a deformed toad). She was just fine and energetic and the injury was quite old. If she can deal with such a drastic change then I think your frog will do fine.
