My Canadian experience with that injury was basically the surgeon would operate on me if I wanted, and that would get me back to 100% faster, but it's more invasive and largely unnecessary unless your everyday life required faster healing (e.g. you job depends on it). Which it didn't because I had a desk job. There might be an age component to it: the risk of it not healing correctly increases with age.
