Steve it should heal back in a matter of months, just watchout for secondary infection.

Antonio is right. Fins will heal quickly if no secondary infection sets in. I had a Koi that broke the leading ray in one of it pecs in half. I put it to sleep and used super glue to join it together again. There was no infection and it healed completely.
