The pipe will need a new tenon or a new stem. I've never seen an broken tenon that has been glued back together last long.

You should let the doctor do surgery on tendons. But tenons are best repaired by a stem replacement

If keeping existing stem drill it out and glue/insert new tenon either rough end or thread tenon end and stem,apply glue either way you decide to do it. Fit tenon to pipe after glue sets well and you should be done. A very simple explanation but I'm sure someone will fill in around the edges. Good luck!
