Default Re: Will this Goldfinger survive?

I would try a splint as well. I had some Orinoco's that I put in the ground that had similar damage and I used bamboo on either side to hold it up and new leaves grew and after a few new leaves it was standing up much better. I had one I cut as well and it started growing new leaves after a while as well. You would be fine going either way. If the splint works on your plant it may recover faster. I planted 8 Orinoco's and another one that was bent over just grew through the middle but split stem and grew a little to the side...

So ya definitely salvageable....
