US Secretary of State John Kerry's broken leg is not expected to interfere with his duties, the top US diplomat's orthopedic surgeon said in a statement on Tuesday. 'The procedure was uncomplicated, the fracture was fully repaired, and we plan to get him up walking on Wednesday,' Kerry's surgeon, Dennis Burke, said in a statement released by the State Department. 'I anticipate a short hospitalization, a full and complete recovery, and a return to normal function.'
