Surgical and Nonsurgical both have their own drawbacks . Better to for surgery under better facilities- Lumbar plexus block , Good ICU setup if needed post surgery . With bed rest and traction - high chances of malunion , nonunion , bed sores , other cardiopulmonary complications( also possible in surgery)
