My father was hit by a car and his scaphoid of left hand fractured, the doctor suggests him to do an operation, but he has plagued by diabetes for years, and has hyperglycemia. So my question is: if he must do the operation, how much risk he has to take? Could you please help me consult the doctor at your side and see what should we do? Thank you!
Welcome to Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and understand your concern. He has slightly more risk as compared to normal person. He can first control his diabetes then he should get your operation of ORIN with scaphoid fracture. After controlling diabetes he can be operated with negligible risk. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you. Wishing you a good health. Take care.
