At 74 yrs old and arm&shoulder injuries I cannot effectively shoot my Matthew's LX compound anymore. So I'm going crossbow now. My question is, are fixed blade or mechanical broadheads more accurate?

Personal you need to shoot the heads and see. Mechs have a reputation for accuracy mostly due
To the lack of surface area. It’s just an inherent characteristic of mechanicals. Even cheap ones mostly fly well. As far as fixed go, I can tell you Magnus Stingers fly very well from my xbow. As good as any mechanical. Cut size is another topic. Just adding I shoot 320 fps. Have run stingers out of a Ravin at 400 fps too. Very good flight. I am talking hunting distance of 40 and under.
