If the tear is minor or partial they will simply immobilize the arm and put you on rest. If there is a total rupture, then they might have to operate!

1 month complete rest is needed and the torn muscle must be treated witn ice packs. RICE is the treatment, RICE is Reduction, Ice, Compression and Elevation.
