Think about posting a photo, and you may get lucky and someone give you well thought out and experienced based advice. Your description is so brief, it would be hard to say what is the solution without adequately identifying the problem. Sometimes shells are repaired with epoxy etc. You may want to refer to a Veterinary surgeon book, or better yet, see a Vet surgeon...tortoises have endured radical shell repairs from surgery's or tortoise vs. dog or car damage, so it can be done. Good luck, Vic H.
