The cost of this increased healing rate would be the tail risk of compounding injury though. It's not something a doctor could recommend even if it were true for everyone consistently.

Surgery has very well documented known risks and doctors recommend surgery.

Also surgery has outcomes that are barely better than non surgical interventions, sometimes, and they still recommend surgery.

if it were true for everyone consistently (faster better healing), where does the tail risk come from?
