A new plastic tenon can be fitted - I'm not sure of the cost of a new tenon but it's a common thing with plastic oboes and there are plenty of Regents with repaired middle tenons. If the oboe is in otherwise playable condition, then it should be considered. You can also have a wooden tenon fitted which will be much stronger than a plastic one.
My own B&H Regent snapped in half when I knocked it over and that was repaired back in 1988 - though I packed in playing oboe when that happened (I never got on with that Regent anyway) and took it up again 10 years later after trying a Marigaux 901 that came in for repair when I discovered I could get a good sound out of one of those!
