Top of half grown tomato plant snapped off - now what?

last night some wind toppled over my tomato plant and as I tried to tie it back in I accidentally snapped off the tip. The plant was probably only 1-2 ft high so still has lots of growing to do.
What should I do? Will it continue to grow via a side shoot? Or is it permanently dwarfed? As I only have one of this variety (due to space) I wonder if I should replace it?
thanks!

Allow one of the sideshoots to grow and become the main leader
