A question for those with some medical knowledge. My grandson was involved [View all]
in an accident a few days ago and broke his pelvis. He is scheduled for surgery on Tuesday, which is nearly a week after the accident. Is it customary to wait this long? Also, what can be done to repair a broken pelvis?
He also suffered a skull fracture, but it is apparently not severe. He is in his mid 30s with no underlying health issues.
The accident happened in Zurich, Switzerland. My daughter has flown over to be with him, but has not had all her questions answered clearly due to the language barrier.
