Well if it broke all the way through you might as well break it the rest of the way off. Now if it's just a small break you can use a piece of tape and try to mend it back together. ;)

If it is a severe break, you can root it like it were a big clone. Something of that size, I would most definitely use a bubble cloner of some sort though.
 
if the break is not too severe, meaning over 3/4 of the way threw you may have a chance of splinting her back together, take a piece of clothes hanger about 4-6 inches . brace the branch up , take the splint and place it on the brach , take some twine like hemp twine or that brown twine and wrap it all the way down the length of your splint lika an ace bandage ,
wet the twine and in a couple of days you will know if it was sucessful keep the branch braced and straight, 50/50 chance of survival if it stays alive in 2 weeks remove the splint but keep it braced for another week or so sorry so long but this does work 50/50
 
also to help by tieng to the stalk while have the crutch
 
i had the same thing happened to me, it was a little over 3/4 ripped off, i enede putting a wire tie and within 2 weeks the plant healed itself and the break, took the tie off and no problems..
