Fall

Hi Pinebluff,
If I had had a fall and got a swelling on my hip, where I fell, I would go to the ER to get an X-ray even if I was weak.

It is important to know if there is a fracture even if they perhaps hesitate to operate due to the low platelets. Your dad (or really the staff) will get instructions about how to try to avoid more damage when they take care of him.

If it a growing hematoma he could receive patelet txs that perhaps will stop the bleeding.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
