you have to dig it up and then you can use a slip coupling or a extension coupling if you are fixing a straight run of pipe because you don't want to dig more then you have to. If its on a 90 degree then its easy with a coupling and another 90 fitting primer and glued.
Before you make any repairs you should call locates first and you might want to find out what caused the pipe to fail in the first place such as improper back fill etc
