If he is not neutered she should run, not walk, to the nearest vet and get him done, check him for a urinary infection and have the leg seen to as well; if he was in a fight there is a risk of infection.
The health issues one would notice in an indoor cat (litterbox problems, wounds, changes in behaviour indicating pain or fever) all go by the board when a cat lives outside exclusively. If she is attached to him, she should work on keeping him inside for at least part of the time. A cat left outside 24/7 pretty soon becomes a semi-feral, badly socialized animal (marking inappropriately) who drops by for meals and disappears for days at a time. Not very satisfying and potentially risky.
