Question from Caring.com Community Member, Gloria J.
My 90 year old father broke his hip, but the surgeon doesn't think surgery is a good choice for him. How does a broken hip heal without surgery?
Answer
answered:
It will not heal without surgery; however this will probably mean that your father will never walk again. It is time to put that phase into play where the caregiving will change tremendously.
The probable reason behind the surgeon saying it is not a good choice for him, is that the surgery is too risky for your father, given his health. The chances of survival is very slim and the anesthesia advances the severity of the disease.
