Hi, the injury on her shell is pretty big, the most dangerous thing (in my humble opinion) is that the muscle which support the lungs will not be able to keep it up, at that point it would be really serious, but if she is still breathing there is still hope!
You can place her in a humid box with humid paper (humid not wet) and give her a calcium source and some very nutritious food like dandelion, carrot, a protein source like beans or peas, and maybe some potato (and be careful to avoid cabbages and spinach since they contain oxalate that will interfere with calcium absorption)... Also try to search some for other informations on the forum, there are several threads on this topic..
My best wish for this little guy!
