Hip Hair Line / Fracture

2021-05-14 12:44:08
Hello Doctors, Trust you are keeping yourself safe in this uncertain times. Attaching the X-ray reports for my grandparents, he slipped and fall in his hip last night at his home, and have little swelling, by seeing the X-rays does it look like serious ? Also he is 85 years old, in this case what would be the best treatment for him? Because of Covid we are thinking of waiting for some time before taking him to hospital. Please suggest the way forward. Thanks Anurag
