Full Tear of The Distal Biceps Tendon

I am 37 years old and very athletic and physically fit.
I have a full thickness tear of the distal biceps tendon (it is torn at the elbow).
This happened over 4 weeks ago playing Ice Hockey.
Is there a time frame for having this tear repaired surgically?
I have heard mixed opinions, that I have waited too long…Please respond I am in distress!!Thank you,[email protected]
