i have a military dwarf that has a broken hip, ankle and foot, he's not supposed to be able to walk yet my dwarves are always placing in back in bed and not on the benches, latelly he even went back to the baracks, he did,nt do anything but he was just there looking at my legendary swordwarves train, do i have to get him out of the military so he stops moving around or what?

He has a broken hip, ankle, and foot, and you haven't taken him out of the military yet? You are the very definition of a slave driver. 


But more on topic, are you suuuuure he can't walk? he may just be walking impaired, not cannot walk. did you confirm that his status is "can't walk" on the z-health screen?

Having seen a working hospital in action now I've discovered that quite often dwarves will be listed as "Lost the ability to walk".  After surgery and stuff they gain it again (only with motor nerve damage or total loss of limb do they totally lose the ability to do something it seems).  I've actually had a dwarf that had both legs smashed open but no bones broken so no surgery was required.  My dwarves didn't tend to him how they should have yet he got better on his own.

I've also now seen dwarves that have had splints ditching them mid-fight as they've decided they're ok now XD

Try kicking him out of the military so he gets dragged back to a hospital bed & stays there (hopefully). There are known bugs with off-duty/ex-military dwarves where they keep returning to the last place they were stationed so that may be the cause here.
Surgery (like everything else) is bugged so you'll need to either stop your dwarves getting to the patient once a doctor starts trying to perform surgery (forbidding the hospital doors works) or you can turn the "Recover Wounded" labour off from everyone (see Dwarf Therapist). Otherwise your dwarves will come & drag him off the operating table/traction bench back into a bed & the surgery will keep being interrupted.

Urist McSoldier: RAAGHR!
