Mute swan with compound leg fracture

We discovered this morning one of our two swans on shore not moving around. got close enough to see that the left leg appears to be broken, near the hip, with a lot of blood around that upper leg area. Is there any way of treating the bird? He is in the water now and swimming. Catching a mute swan is difficult so not many vets will even make calls for a bird with a broken leg. Is there much hope that the swan will recover well enough to live?
