Dean said he took "a nasty spill" last week while skiing in the Swiss Alps, and the accident landed him in the hospital for Christmas.
Dean shared on December 23 he was "trying to find positives" in a "12 week recovery time," and he continued to post recovery details on social media in subsequent days.
On Saturday, December 28, Dean posted a video of himself walking out of a hospital in Visp, Switzerland while leaning on crutches.
"First steps as a free man after 5 short days in the hospital," Dean, 28, captioned the video.
"Getting out of bed is hard but it must be done," Dean said, adding that he's taking his recovery "one step at a time."
Dean also posted a photo of himself cuddling with Caelynn in a hospital bed as well as a video of his girlfriend carrying his luggage through the Zurich airport.
For her part, Caelynn, 24, apparently traveled to Switzerland on Friday and then posted a video of herself sitting on a train in Zermatt the next day.
"Busted @deanie_babies out of the hospital today and explored a little bit of Switzerland," Caelynn wrote alongside the video.

Caelynn also later posted a video in her Instagram Stories of Dean eating a nice meal in bed in Zurich. Caelynn wrote over the video, "Ur so cute."

"All my life i've dreamt about skiing the swiss alps. how could you not? they're huge and beautiful and have some of the best snow in the world. today, however, was not my day," Dean captioned the photo.
"I was sending just a liiiiitle too hard and took a nasty spill which ultimately put me here. and since this is probably going to be the only pic i get in switzerland, i figured i gotta post it."
He added at the time, "The swiss mountain rescue blew my mind today. it took me about an hour to flag someone down for help but once i did, i was airborne and in surgery in less than an hour. a dislocated hip and fractured femur put 4 screws and a plate in my leg but things could have been so much worse and for that i am extremely grateful!"
Dean then confirmed on December 25 there were four screws put into his body during surgery.
Dean found fame on Rachel Lindsay's season of The Bachelorette before participating in several Bachelor spinoffs.

Dean began dating Caelynn on Bachelor in Paradise 6 this past summer after she had competed for Colton Underwood's heart on The Bachelor's 23rd season.

"She's very intelligent and compassionate. I am able to be myself around her and she's able to be herself and that's how we create synergy and build around each other," Dean previously explained.
"For the first time in my Bachelor franchise relationship history, I feel like I'm able to say what I want, do what I want and allow my partner to build with me while I'm doing that."
Dean, however, admitted earlier this month getting married to Caelynn is not in the cards for them.
"That's never going to happen," Dean told Us.
"She does joke around about us getting married all the time, and I always say, 'Sorry, it's not going to happen.' I don't know, I'm super unconventional and she obviously is a little more conventional."
"We joke around about it," he added. "Just try to keep expectations to a minimum, you know? Like I said on the show, underpromise, overdeliver."
