Oscar Pistorius has been treated at a private hospital in Pretoria after suffering injuries in jail.
The Paralympian was rushed to Kalafong Hospital from his Pretoria prison cell on Saturday, where he is serving a six-year sentence for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
He has since been returned to jail following treatment.
Singabakho Nxumalo, a spokesman for the correctional services department, said Pistorius told officials that he suffered injuries after falling out of bed.
South African media reported that Pistorius also suffered injuries to his wrists.
Last month prosecutors said they would appeal Pistorius' six-year jail sentence, saying it was too lenient.
Pistorius fatally shot Steenkamp in his home on Valentine's Day 2013.
