Linda could be seen emerging from a lift, with her arm in a sling and one leg hanging off the foot rest.
Despite the painful injury, Linda looked in good spirits as she cracked a smile with her son.
Rylan filmed a short clip, which he later shared with his Instagram following, captioning it: "Early morning hospital bants". Rylan has added the Westlife cover 'Raise Me Up' to play over it.
The former It Takes Two host did not explain the nature of the visit but it is likely that Linda was there for a routine hospital check-up.

Rylan was also forced to skip his own BBC Radio 2 show shortly after the accident to be with his mum.
He said: "So unfortunately I took my mum away on her first holiday in a good few years and sadly she's had quite a bad fall, resulting in her having to have surgery out here.
"She's not in the best health with her other conditions and this has made it more complicated.
"My priority at the moment is my mum.
"Cheers scott for covering me at radio 2 and Thanks to the people out here that have sent their well wishes.
"Praying for a successful surgery and a quick recovery. Will update you on mummy. Linda as and when I can x."
Last year Rylan spoke to Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast about Linda's struggle with Crohn's disease.
She was previously forced to take time off from Gogglebox due to a flare up of the incurable condition.
Speaking about his bond with his mum, he said: "I cannot imagine my life without her. I mean she has gone through quite a lot with her health, she has got Crohn's disease.
"She is on a drip feed now like pretty much 24/7 whenever she can get on it.
"I will do anything for my mum. Like, she will not listen.
Gogglebox is the easiest thing I have ever done because I literally sit on my kitchen sofa and they go, 'right here we go' and I don't have to say a word.
"It is the easiest money I've ever made in my life because I press one button and she's off. And she literally has no idea."
