US Secretary of State John Kerry has left a Boston hospital, nearly two weeks after breaking his right thigh in a bicycling accident in the French Alps.
Kerry was helicoptered to a hospital on May 31 across the Swiss border to Geneva and later flown to Boston, where he remained at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Kerry will continue recovering at his Boston home, State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said on Friday.
While hospitalised, Kerry has been in touch with staff by telephone and email, Rathke said: "He's been engaged with his team."
Kerry's chief of staff was in Boston to assist with State Department business.
Dr Dennis Burke, Kerry's orthopaedic surgeon, said the former senator has had "an uncomplicated recovery" from surgery to repair a broken femur.
Kerry is walking independently on crutches "and working hard with physical therapy toward a full recovery, which we anticipate will occur in several months' time," Burke said.
The femur is the largest bone in the body.
