Would a fractured elbow before surgery cause a delay?

I broke my left elbow after taking a bike ride yesterday after work. It didn't have to be set but I'm wondering how this will affect surgery. My surgery date is 7/11 and I'm wearing a sling now, and, I'm guessing, might still be still laid up with it. My doctor is out of the country right now and I won't be able to speak to him until the 7/1. I'm also waiting to hear back from the program coodinator. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? And what happened?
