Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns
Your father has fracture humerus ,this fracture could be treated conservatively in some cases and other cases need surgery according to fracture displacement .
If I were his treating Doctor for this case I will ask him to do full laboratory investigations ,ECG,ECHOcardiography and chest x ray and to consult anesthesia doctor before doing surgery.
If He is unfit for surgery so closed reduction and coaptation splint is the only option .
