If your water quality is good, food quality is good and he is not being stressed out by any other fish it should heal up fairly fast, just watch out for bacterial infections if it happened near the peduncle.

Adding a stress coat product is not a bad idea if you have access to one.

You could also try adding some coarse salt,
 
in my experience, salting speeds up the healing process and helps fight infections. so, I would salt. if you havent salted before, do it slowly.
