sounds a bit frightening to me... i hope you have just not correctly presented the information, but the way you describe it if the tooth root is fractured then it will most likely need to be root treated to the fracture line and may even need to be extracted if the fracture is vertical rather than horizontal
hard to say with out seeing the xray
