Just cut off anything heavily damaged. It will be ugly for a long while, but it will recover. Growth that large will not likely repair itself if left on there, so cutting anything broken all of the way through will be recommended.

Otherwise, keep providing proper care and pruning properly to avoid future breakage. These articles will help:
