Surgery for sure. Plating and screw fixation. Get a slab done for her, she can definately travel with a slab. Keep affected limb elevated and apply Ice packs.

she definitely requires surgery. swelling can increase while travelling. she should keep her leg elevated until the surgery to avoid swelling. Best would be to undergo surgery there itself rather of travelling so much.
