There are two main factors taht will decide your treatment now, 1 what is the present range in your joint, and 2 how much deformity the malunion has caused, dont go for surgery mindlessly, as you already have had an infection in past, another infection can be fatel for your elbow. Also X rays and clinical pictures are must.

Yes, get it corrected . Correction involves bony cuts and fixation with implants.
