My grandfather is 84 years old and recently fell. Would you recommend surgery?
It all depends on the type of fracture he has. If it is an undisplaced fracture, a mere arm sling for a couple of weeks with early mobilization will be sufficient. If it is DISPLACED, then a simple metallic plate and screws will be needed. Rarely, the ball of the joint needs to be replaced. READ MORE
Is bariatric surgery painful?
