When to reintroduce injured chicken to flock

My hen was injured by an animal and had really deep lacerations and could not walk. It’s been 10 days in the lacerations have healed and she is able to stand but is still limping around. When should I re-introduce her to the flock? I assumed it was when she would be fully better but even though she’s limping she still trying to jump on top of things and be a chicken.I even tried to make her a set up like her brooder was when she was a check but she still trying to jump out of it.
I know it’s not easy on her because every time she gets remotely active she starts panting

thoughts? Opinions?
 
Are the lacerations fully healed and have feathers started to grow back?
Are there places in the run that she can get onto to escape the flock?
