I broke mine in 2011 after a collision with a red light runner. It healed on it's own in about six weeks (along with the two broken ribs from the same collision). I didn't have a surgery, in fact, the staff at the hospital where I was taken told me that surgery wouldn't help and I should let it heal on it's own. As it was, it healed up as good as new (I was mid 30s at the time). There was some stiffness after initially healing, but yoga fixed that remarkably quickly.
