    A photo of the damage would be helpful. Maybe just cut the trace that is pulled up, go to the nearest point that it was routed to, solder a wire to that point( via, another part, pin on an IC, etc )

    I second Todd's suggestion to use wire. Wire wrap wire is useful when soldering to traces or fine leads.
