Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your father is having blunt chest and abdominal trauma.
Traumatic kidney injury needs nephrectomy (removal of kidney) and liver injury needs surgical repair. So doctor has done appropriate treatment.
Rib fracture don't require surgical fixation. We have to just immobilize the fractured segments so that with time they heal and unite togather.
Now we need to wait for healing and stabilization of body vitals. We need to give time to body for healing.
Usual time for complete healing and stabilization is 1-2 months.
So ask him to take complete body rest for 1-2 months.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
