Make sure you separate them and keep the injured turtle in warm water around 80-82 degress F and get him to a vet now. That's the only thing you can do and no advice here is qualified to treat these injuries/illnesses.

You posted about this before and were given advice then. If your turtle's condition is as bad as you say, you're wasting precious time by posting here and not getting him to a herp vet!

You really should have taken this turtle to vet immediately if the leg was ripped to the point the bone is showing. Waiting any longer in my opinion is neglecting the poor thing. If you had a dog or cat that had an injury like that would you have let it go this long
