Hi,
As I see the history I think your family Doctor is right , you definitely need a surgery to fix the joint. If left untreated may land up in to non functional joints and other complications.
Post surgery you will be in cast for some weeks. After the cast is removed you will be put forward to physiotherapy to achieve the maximum functions of the elbow joint.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
