Awww. Well, I hope the other roots are still alive. If those young, growing roots are unattached, they're almost certainly going to die. If you get REALLY lucky, maybe you'll get a keiki on those roots, but I highly doubt it. It's incredibly unlikely.

Repotting is best done when new growth is already started, in part because once your plant has gone into growth mode, it will be better able to cope with the loss of some of the existing roots. All the jostling usually detaches some working roots here and there, so if they're about to sprout new ones anyway, it is less damaging- not that it isn't still stressful. Here's to hoping it sprouts some new roots soon!
