Default received damaged banana plants

I ordered 2 ice cream blue java tc plants, 1 dwarf cavendish tc plant and a 1 pound bag of organic fertilizer from Florida Hills Nursery (I wish I had read reviews of the company before ordering). They arrived in a triangular mailing tube. All three plants arrived with broken stems close to the soil they were sent in. Nothing was secured in the tube, so everything was free to bounce from side to side and get crushed. My question is, are the plants still viable if I cut the stems below where they are bent, which is a couple of inches above the soil line?
