Sorry about your unfortunate accident. A half broken tooth need not be extracted if the root structure is intact. It is possible to save it by doing a root canal treatment followed by a crown /cap to replace the broken fragment and restore the original contours of the tooth. Please visit a dentist for a consult and an X ray to evaluate the root structure.
