I'll cut to the chase, so to speak.
My grandfather of 84 years fell last month on the ice while getting the mail. He has a small fracture in the hip ... an acetabular fracture I think. I haven't found the time to go to medical school, so I'm uncertain of the particulars of cause, prevention, healing, etc.
Anyway, assuming that my wonderful grandfather has low testosterone (I don't think this is much of a stretch ), I must wonder if appropriate TRT may be beneficial to either bone healing or bone strength to prevent future fractures.
I've advised him to just at least "get his testosterone levels checked in the past" which he did not do, but I more mentioned it than strongly advised. I'm trying to figure out if I should push a little harder now.
