Joe you need to seal up the damage or bacteria and disease will get into it. The bark transmits sap so if half of the bark is still in tact all the way up it may survive. Parafin wax will seal it up, there is commercial products available. I have even used roofing compound to seal up trees damaged by lawnmower decks.
