Does she has hip pain on the operated side or what.
X-ray says the fracture is yet to unite.. High BP and drowsy are cause of concern.
Next Steps
First meet up a physician and also I feel if she has hip pain then it’s better to get a CT pelvis done and see if there is something wrong with fracture healing..

More than 6 months after surgery bony union is expected. Present radiograph is not very comforting. I would like to see all other previous radiographs from the beginning of fracture and start of treatment. We maybe missing something here.

Given her age and co-morbidities, it would be better to investigate with blood tests to rule out infection as well as her electrolytes levels for being drowsy
Next Steps
Consult and investigate
