My father has osteoporosis in both femur, bone cancer in the left. He broke the left femur on Friday night. They are replacing both femur as we speak. He is 86, but until this took no meds. He has low blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. Does he have a chance of walking again.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thanks for the query. It is hard to say. This is very serious condition, and it can be life-threatening, so it is more important to prolong his life than to force walking again. he'll need to be very strong to pass through surgery and rehabilitation and also results of bone reposition in pathologic fractures are poor. So you need to have faith, but generally this is bad situation.Wish you good health. Regards
