It would seem that there is a strong antipathy to surgery amongst the generalists that people typically see in this sort of situation- which changes dramatically when you make enough noise to be seen by a specialist, who almost always advocate surgery.
Have a look in the collarbone thread for examples of this.
I wish that I'd made more of a fuss when I broke my jaw, as I got almost word for word what you got- "You can open your jaw, so that's fine. Surgery is an option, but we'll just let it rest. Blah blah."
