I would have said that he was too old just a couple months back. However since then my granddad who is 87 just got his fixed 4 weeks ago and is now able to go up and down the hall on crutches and is no longer stuck in a wheelchair forever--I'd say go for it!

My granddads situation is very much the same as your dads as both are in pretty good health otherwise. I was really impressed to see this kind of surgery has been advanced to such a state of regularity and quality of approach.

It has taken my granddads attitude towards life in a very positive direction!

Good luck to your family!
