Hopefully, Chad is resting comfortably and beginning the healing process as he gains support and strength from his inner circle.

Upon reading more into the initial report, it said that he "lost some skin" which leads me to believe that there was a degloving injury. This is more of a shearing traumatic injury, subsequently removing layers of flesh. Again, if this injury was sustained, blood supply to the degloved skin would be required to maintain healthy tissue (Perfusion of blood=tissue sustainability).

The most common degloving injuries I've seen involved the heel, mostly in motorcycle accidents.
Full recoveries seldom occur, but Chad is in a great facility that will provide him the most current medical advancements to heal him.

As I stated before, I would recommend dives in the hyperbaric chamber to expedite the healing process and reduce the chance of infection. Here are brief articles discussing HBOT:

I agree with bamascoop that he will have an external fixator to stabilize his fractures.

Hang in there Chad!!!
