I would keep him in a hospital tank until fully healed, keeping up with daily water changes to keep his water as clean as possible.Reintroducing him now in his weakened state will do him only harm as he is easier to attack and does not need any stress to inhibit his healing and open him up to more sickness. Also, if a secondary infection develops, he is already qt'ed and it will take less medication and your healthy fish won't be exposed to any meds they don't need.
