I would suggest not doing 100% because it is extra stress(though no different from taking a coral home from store and plopping in your tank).

In any case with a large water change make sure temp and salinity match as exact as you can and ideally get things like alk and pH at least close.

I am having the same issue. Woke up this AM to my large nem stuck in the powerhead. Should I just keep him in the tank and let nature try to heal? Do I need to /(can I) treat his injury in anyway?

Don’t add extra stress, keep with your normal routine IMO. Add (or increase) the carbon, and just give it extra food and time. If it starts the inflate/deflate cycle, it’s time for Ciprofloxacin.
