Hayden, who retired in 2009 after scoring a sensational 8,625 runs for Australia, was surfing with his son Josh when he suffered his injuries.
On Saturday he posted a picture of his head injuries, captioned: "Took on Straddie back bank yesterday with @josh_hayden28 and lost!!!
"Game over for a few days."
Hayden held the world record score for a test innings with his knock of 380 against Zimbabwe in October 2003 before West Indies great Brian Lara surpassed it with 400 not out six months later.
He also formed a formidable opening partnership with current Australia coach Justin Langer, combining for 5655 test runs as an opening pair.
