Suggest Remedies For Hip Bone Fracture In A Cardiac Patient

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
You really have a big problem in your hand.
Fracture hip in old age with pre existing medical problems is definitely a very risky combination for surgery.Even with optimal care,elderly trauma patients suffer a higher morbidity and mortality rate as compared to general population.
On the other hand,fact remains that most hip fractures heal without surgery,but the problem is that patient has to be in bed for 10-12 weeks. Doctors have learned over many years that putting an elderly patient in bed for such an extended period has far greater risk of developing serious complications than the surgery required to fix the broken hip.
This is the main reason that surgery is recommended to nearly all the patients with fracture hip.
My opinion would be a surgery. If surgery is successful then she won't be bed ridden and would lead a good life. Even in broader sense,sorry to say and please don't mind,what is the fun of living in this world if a person is confined to bed 24 hours with risk of death increased.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
