had this happen to me,

tore from the inside where it inserts into the elbow joint,

can be operated on but has to be done very quick with a few days of actually doing it ideally which you will never get on the NHS. If left for weeks it will be very difficult to reattach with going wrong or causing problems.

unfortunatly rest, ice, elevation etc is all he will be able to do for now, later he can get ultra sound and massage to strip out scar tissue.

if its is a proper tear though it will take time to repair and get back to full strength. I did mine 14 months ago now and is still not 100% or back to full strength.
