Question 1

My 82-year-old parent has been advised to get shoulder surgery but they also have diastolic dysfunction should we be worried about the risks during surgery

Accepted Answer

Yes, the presence of diastolic dysfunction in an 82-year-old parent undergoing shoulder surgery warrants a discussion with the surgeon and anesthesiologist about potential risks. Diastolic dysfunction, where the heart's ventricles don't properly relax and fill with blood, can increase the risk of complications during and after surgery, particularly related to cardiac health.

Accepted Answer

It's understandable to be worried when you hear about a broken bone. Surgery isn't always the only option, and many fractures can be treated with less invasive methods. Your doctor will consider the type of fracture, its location, and your overall health when determining the best treatment plan.

Question 3

My 80-year-old diabetic uncle fell from his bed and now has swelling on his left thigh. The X-ray shows a fracture. Can this heal without surgery or is surgery necessary? At his age and with diabetes, is surgery even safe for him?
