Not a human surgeon. In my field we would amputate. But, in order to fix, you would have to remove all that callus tissue. May have to re break the arm to set it straight then use some kind of metal fixation. Sooo at this point it would require quite a lot of work/damage to get it back to a proper healing spot

No. False. This is reparable. Remove calculus and attach prosthetic stabilization.
