the surgeon does not usually give you the OK to drive, all you will get is a recommendation of a minimum period not to, it varies by patient to patient and your follow up appointments will probably not coincide with your ability to drive. The choice of when to drive is up to you.
I was fit to drive after my broken hip after 4 weeks. I tested that by how much pressure and speed I could hit the brake pedal. After my cancer surgery it was 5 weeks, that was driven by the ability to wear a seatbelt and upper mobility.
