Did the same thing last year when my chain snapped over a speed bump descending College Rd, went for the surgery (after waiting 2 weeks for the road rash to heal). Had more grief from the incision rather than the joint itself, so i'll reckon you'll be alright.
Kept myself ticking over on the turbo while i was off work and was riding again after 6 weeks with the metal still in. Had it whipped out after 4 months. Shame they didn't let me keep it afterwards, was looking forward to a new bottle opener.
