A member asked:
Does someone who has several abrasions, broken bones, and a concussion have to stay in the hospital?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Most patients with multiple broken bones are admitted to the hospital, as many will need surgery. Some fractures can be treated nonoperatively in splints/casts. If the fractures are minor, then the patient could be discharged from the hospital.
