nothing to be done?
in way of prevention or fixing it?

Probably too late now, but if the stem is still pliable, you could try pushing it back inside the sheath (the leaf base that's supposed to hold it straight until it stiffens, but couldn't cope with the wind force) and tying it back in, then it might straighten up.

It looks split anyway, just cut it off at the split, shame that, I know how nice it is to see the fresh culms growing 
On a brighter note I much approve of the shingle/gravel you have going around the lawn
I hated that red bark so much 
, personal taste I know, but it looks sooooo much better now.
