How long it takes for a patient to be discharged from the hospital after surgery for a thigh fracture depends on the patient’s postoperative recovery. If the postoperative recovery is good and there is no infection, the patient can be discharged from the hospital in a week or so; if the surgery triggers an infection, it may take three weeks or even longer. The thigh is a part of the body that is prone to fracture, and most of them are caused by external force, resulting in fracture. After thigh fracture surgery, there may be pain, swelling, fever and other symptoms, so postoperative care is very important. If the postoperative recovery is good and there is no infection, you can be discharged from the hospital in about a week; if the operation triggers an infection, it may take three weeks or even longer. The time of discharge after thigh fracture should be decided under the advice of the doctor.
