Default What's the best treatment for a torn biceps tendon at the elbow?

I am 54 and was lifting a piece of furniture 1 week ago and felt a pop in my arm. My PCP told me I may have torn my biceps tendon, and should see an orthopaedic surgeon.
Although I have a desk job, I am fairly active, and wonder what the pros and cons of surgery are. I do not want an operation if it is not necesary, but by the same token, I want to have reasonable function for the next several years!
