A hip fracture is a fracture of necessity - unless patient is unfit to undergo surgery due to an ongoing life threatening issue it has to be operated on.
I would suggest to get a surgery done ( cannot mention details as I don't have the xray plates) at the earliest before muscle wasting makes surgical results poor.
No person will want to have pain and inability to sit let alone stand and walk
