What Is The Treatment For My Broken Scaphoid Bone?

I have a broken Scaphoid bone. The Dr wants me to have surgery and place a screw in it. It's been broken for two years with manageable pain. I'm claustrophobic and can't image having a cast. What should I worry about if I just let the broken part of the bone die?
