I hate to say this, but most of the time at that age, they treat a broken hip with...a wheelchair.
No matter how healthy you are, bone just doesn’t grow very quickly at that age. My grandmother’s ARM simply disintegrated at the age of 95 when she was vacuuming. They replaced that with plastic. She asked them how long THAT was going to last...!
“I hate to say this, but most of the time at that age, they treat a broken hip with...a wheelchair.”
Could be much worse than that. Half of the people that age that break their hip DIE from the injury. What happens then? Murder charges?
I wonder if a future death-panel would allow this man to recover with medical care?
