Risk during operation are there due to age.  But its not like that she cant be operated.  Better see an orthopaedic consultant who is willing to take the risk or take her to hospital which has all facilities in such conditions.

If it is the hip which is fractured, then unless operated on, it will not heal. Is there a reason they cannot operate? Is there a medical reason? Upload an xray and better advice can be given
