    Open the Health app (on your iPhone).  Choose "Medical ID" in the lower right.  Click "Edit" in the upper right.

     

    Add your broken leg to "Medical Conditions".

    I thought that with the health app it can differentiate if i have some disability for certain amount of time.

     

    Putting it under medical condition will change nothing on my activities (expected)

    No.  This cannot be done with current Apple software.

     

    Noting your disability under "Medical Conditions" would help if you need emergency care - if something were to happen to you, an emergency technician could see your comments if necessary.
