Jones Fracture - Cast vs. Surgery

I have a Jones fracture - 2 weeks old. I assume the protocol for treatment is cast and then if that doesn't work surgery. What are the statistics for success in both? Not knowing the answer ( and being an engineer) I'm leaning towards surgery sooner than later because I fear the success ratio for cast only (given a reasonable time like three months) is low. So why not opt for surgery earlier?

I believe that it is generally held that casting of a Jones fracture has a 70 or so percent success rate and surgery perhaps a 90 percent success rate. On the other hand, most surgical procedures present greater risks of other problems occuring than does conservative treatment. I would think that if you have concerns regarding the method selected by your doctor, you should have a discussion with him/her about his/her reasons for chosing whatever method was chosen.

Thanks

Do you know of any Surgery Center in Los Angeles that specializes in this type of surgery?
All the doctors I talk to to seem to have a proprietary interest (not suprising) in doing the surgery themselves. Is there a "Mayo Clinic" in this field?
