She has got fracture.. without surgery she has to be on bed rest completely for 6 weeks. This will increase bed sore, clots in legs, lung infection etc If she is medically fit for surgery then day one she can walk after surgery with walker support

Fracture is there and needs surgery. But considering her age and bed sore, and if she was not walking prior to fall. No need to opt for surgery
Next Steps
