Not to mention magic in Equestria can turn you into an alicorn. Doesn't happen often, but if magic can do that, why can't it fix a broken horn?
Though seeing the trouble Twily and Glimmer had regrowing Rarity's hair, the reason magic isn't used for everyday injuries might be because body-altering magic can be unpredictable. The spell you cast to fix that broken wing could turn it into a bat wing, or a tentacle, or cause its feathers to fall off.
So, trying to use magic to fix Tempest's horn could have any number of unpredictable outcomes. But using magic to create a horn prosthetic seems like a more practical way of at least patching up the wound, even if it isn't full-on healing it.
At any rate, I still like the idea of a Crystal Heart-given replacement horn for Tempest and possibly a coltfriend (or marefriend, if conservatives wouldn't throw a b[spoiler]yay[/spoiler]fest about it).
