If someone tears their ACL I'm sure they get an MRI immediately. I don't have all the data. Actually, it would be really cool to do a cross border comparison of people's experience!
A friend's father had a torn quadricep and had surgery within 2-3 days to repair it. I'm just one guy so when I said "within 30 days" it's in my non-critically immediate case where I didn't have stroke symptoms.

I’ve actually heard different specifically for non-emergency knee repair, but it’s purely anecdotal and who knows how representative it was. Given my surgeon actually said rehab-only was an option (as long as I was willing to give up golf and skiing) I doubt I would have gotten high priority.
I would love to see what American surgeons could do for my royally destroyed ankles, maybe I'd get double ankle replacements with incredible technology and pay nothing if I had the right job and insurance coverage. We do replacements here and they're good from what I've heard. I haven't looked into the difference between Canadian and American care at the level I would need though.
