After a fracture is nailed, you can usually be discharged from the hospital in about two weeks. If the fracture is surgically repositioned and internally fixed, the fracture can be discharged from the hospital only after the stitches are removed. During this period, it is important to do the appropriate functional exercises under the guidance of the doctor and to observe the wound for infection. In addition, patients with internal fixation still need to protect the fracture site after discharge from the hospital and should not use the injured limb for the time being. Patients should return to the orthopedic department regularly to check the degree of healing of the fracture and should not use the affected limb until the doctor confirms that the fracture has reached the standard of clinical healing. If there are complications of the fracture, such as infection or vascular or nerve damage, the hospital stay may be longer.
