I’ve had stems bend and then strengthen back up and be able to support the branch again.  
I used a thick tape and rolled it around the broken part, sticky side out creating a small tube like a straw that I could remove once it healed. It could slide up/down on the branch, to monitor how it was doing. This saved a branch on my Hoya. Not sure if it would work on such a thick branch, but I don’t see why some support and time wouldn’t be enough for this to strengthen again if it hasn’t been bent long.
