If the branch is still attached, how severe is the break? And where did the break occur, near the trunk or further out. Sometimes if branch end-weight is pruned, a cracked branch will lift up on it’s own, close the wound and recover. A professional tree service has capabilities for installation of artificial support systems, cabling and bracing. But with a serious breakage and a hanging hazardous limb, it’s best to remove it.
If it’s a large tree and large branch breakage, I would recommend having an arborist inspect it and make a recommendation. Keep yourself safe, kids and pets out from under it until you are certain of stability and reduction of risk.
