Default need Dendrobium help, please

Hi,
A few months ago, I asked for advice about my den. that I thought might have a fungus. After I gathered suggestions, I unpotted it to do a Physan20 soak, but saw that I had watered too much and the roots were almost all rotten. I then trimmed away the rotten roots and treated the areas with cinnamon. This left only the few newest ones (which were starting to grow nicely before I unpotted the plant, by the way). Anyway, I then did the Physan20 soak and repotted. Earlier this afternoon I was dusting and accidentally hit the pot and the plant fell over. After it overturned, I saw that there has been no re-rooting, plus the newest roots didn't look well anymore. (pics attached)

Since the orchid most likely did have a fungus (which may or may not be gone), do you think it would be a lost cause to try to save it since it is almost rootless, as well? If you think there is hope, what should I do to try to help it?

I would appreciate any advice,
Vicki
