General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
If there is complete rupture then it should be surgically repaired, but if there is only partial rupture then you should have immobilization and rest for 4 weeks. Fracture should be treated on the same way.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
