I had a spare pear branch laying around, so I had some fun taking some pictures of what I've done before and had good luck with.
When I broke it, I tried to push it back together and had trouble resetting it, as the fibers pushed against each other and didn't join back together well. If the break had been cleaner it might have worked better.
I cut it back to the first healthy bud below the break point, with a slightly diagonal cut, so that
water will run off of the wound area and won't pool up and cause rot or disease issues.
The new growth will most likely be vigorous and grow quickly to replace the broken piece. The wound should also heal pretty quickly with it being so close to an active growing area, without there being much (if any) dead
wood.
Hope your tree recovers quickly and you get some tasty pears soon!
