Debbie: To fix the crack you'll need to supplement with Alta real food Silica (3 per every meal), magnesium, vitamin D3 and calcium. If your Dad is not on a good multi vit & mineral, I suggest that, too. Vitamin C will help to strengthen the tissues around the vertebrae and the discs. He should notice a difference within two - four weeks. Surgery, in my humble opinion, is unnecessary - too dangerous for a man of his age. The recovery time from surgery might be the rest of his good life. A natural approach to healing this, I think, would be best.
