Should I have surgery for a senior femoral neck fracture?

  The 86-year-old father Wang, usually living in a nursing home, some time ago, the cold weather, accidentally fell after a film, the left femoral neck fracture, his children found the Hubei Province Xinhua Hospital Xiao Yaoguang, deputy chief physician, asked for surgery, the children said the reason for choosing surgery is that before the family has a mother-in-law, also a femoral neck fracture, considering the age, did not choose surgery, the results soon appeared The reason for the surgery is that the family has a mother-in-law who also has a fractured neck of femur, considering her age, did not choose surgery, and as a result, she soon developed complications such as bed sores and died after 3 months of pain, so now they are asking for surgery for dad, and even if dad has any accidents, they do not blame the hospital, they just hope that dad can survive the surgery, so that dad can live comfortably during his lifetime.  Dr. Xiao Yaoguang gave dad a series of tests and informed dad’s children that although dad’s surgery was very risky, he still had a chance. After the patient’s family agreed, hemiprosthetic joint replacement surgery was performed, and the surgery was over in less than an hour. He was able to move the joint in bed on the second day, and was able to get out of bed after three days.  Xiao Yaoguang, deputy chief physician, said that elderly patients with femoral neck fractures are often in poor physical condition and have a combination of more medical diseases, so they are often in a dilemma after fracture treatment, and the risk of surgery is great. Without surgery, there are often complications, long-term pain, and in severe cases, life-threatening. How will patients and families choose? If the patient is not in pain and does not have pain when moving around, it is possible to treat without surgery. However, if pain is present, surgical treatment is preferably needed.
