Broken leaf vein

Hi everyone,
I have a Ventricosa x Lowii which unfortunately got knocked off its unit onto the floor.
Most of it is fine but a couple of the leaves with tendrils starting to inflate took some damage.
On one, the vein underneath the leaf itself got bent and on the other leaf, the vein snapped.
Because the leaves are super thick and strong the leaves have kept their shape though there is a small amount of browning happening.

Probably a stupid question but is there anything I can do to save the tendrils so they continue to pitcher?

There's really nothing to do but continue to grow the plant as normal. In my experience the pitchers still have a chance to develop as long as the midrib is not completely severed
