It is curable. If the patient is medically fit despite CKD. She can go for surgery. It will help in early mobilization and prevent stiffness. Consult for further opinion

It's not right to say 'its not curable'
That is disheartening to an already suffering person.
There are solutions to all problems. You may not get 100% results but functionality can be maximised.
Technically in kidney disease bone quality and healing is very poor. Hence the skepticism.

Hello
Usually in CKD the bones become very fragile and weak because of loss calcium and the healing is usually delayed.
Kindly provide the x ray to see.
Next Steps
Kindly provide details and blood investigations for appropriate advice.
