Default Dwarf orinoco TC damaged in shipping

I bought two dwarf orinoco banana plants, they were small tissue culture plants. I have had them indoors a little over two months. One was bent over badly. I started to cut it off but as small as it was I wasn't sure it would come back. Right now it is super small and has only produced two small leafs since February. The other dwarf orinoco was real beat up too, but not bent over. The one that wasn't bent over is huge, and it has been in the same soil and environment. If I weighed them both the larger would probably weigh 10 times more that the smaller plant. I have two dwarf cavendish plants in the same soil and environment they are both are growing fast. The small orinoco looks good, but it isnt pushing out leafs. It is either stunted, or stuck where it cant hardly push out new leafs. It is about 8 inches high, and has leafs about 5 inches long. Do you guys think it would survive being pruned back where it could grow back. It has a total of 3 leafs that look good, it is just small.
