Suggest Treatment For Hand Fracture And Hyperglycemia

My father was hit by a car and his scaphoid of left hand fractured, the doctor suggests him to do an operation, but he has plagued by diabetes for years, and has hyperglycemia. So my question is: if he must do the operation, how much risk he has to take? Could you please help me consult the doctor at your side and see what should we do? Thank you!
