A member asked:
Mom requires surgery after fractured foot. it's been a month since she fractured her foot, is there any risk to surgery since we didn't do right away?

Potentially: Doing delayed surgery for a fracture can potentially make the surgery more difficult and also may even change the nature of the surgery recommended itself. I would discuss the specifics of your case with your surgeon. Good question.
