Broken Leg Hospital Stay: What to Expect After a Fracture
The amount of time you spend in the hospital for a broken leg depends on the severity of the injury and your overall health. In general, most people stay in the hospital for 1-2 days after surgery to repair a broken leg.
For more severe injuries, such as those involving multiple fractures, you may need to stay in the hospital for longer.
Children also tend to stay in the hospital longer than adults for broken legs, as they may need more time to recover.
