Most people they would pin it, but with his age & the fact he can't use it anyway they'll probably just let it heal naturally. It just breaks my heart when things happen to him. But at least he called someone, usually he hates to call & wake people up. So please say a prayer for him.

That kind of break is VERY painful - especially when they don't pin it - so make sure he gets the pain meds he needs. Often older people are reluctant to take pain meds because they are afraid of getting dependent on them. In a case like this, with a painful event, he really needs to take the pain meds. Be sure to tell him it is OK. They will put the arm in a sling or something to keep it immobile (usually not a cast, but maybe). Please tell him to keep it like they tell him to because it will not heal and will continue to hurt if it is not kept properly immobile.
