According to your history tsh is very high to proceed with surgery now, as thigh bone is weight bearing other than surgery it will not unite and can lead to malunion or non-union as said it is a major fracture in thigh can wait till TSH comes down as your orthopaedician will apply temporary pin traction so that fracture will not distrub and pain will decrease

TSH is high- hypothyroid is com corrected adequately- it can lead to complication cardiac during surgery or post op. Follow advice from your doctor. Once it is corrected - and she is fit - discuss with your surgeon. Share the X-rays
