My dad has a "Stint" Dr's put them in.... When my sister broke her arm, we used a SPLINT.

Same just happened to me a few weeks ago. I thought I was screwed, but I used a SPLINT (piece of thicker gauge wire) and some duct tape and it's back to normal! you should be fine...

You can essentially rip a branch off and duct tape it back on so long as you're not too far along. I think you'll be fine, just support it. Our stems are a bit weak from a root aphid issue and I split one about 6 inches down the main trunk weaving it into the trellis, it healed just fine after about a week. Ironically it's also our strongest growing plant still.

I've damn near ripped branches completely in half and have just used a splint and duct tape and it healed . It'll develop this hard ass knot where the accident happened and it'll be fine.
