Here are some techniques on how to deal with a broken post.
There are a number of ways to deal with this problem depending on what kind of post has broken, typically wooden posts sometimes rot at the base ground level and snap.
If this is the case there are only two options one extract the post remove the concrete using a kango gun to break out all the old concrete, fit new post into ground and re-concrete.
The other option is to use a concrete spur, you will need to dig down the face of the broken post down to a depth of at least 18 inches and approximately 6 inches square, slide the concrete post down the face of the broken post and bolt together the concrete spur and the broken post
Once secure use the level to check the post is true, then using Batten to secure the post and ensure no movement will occur, then add your concrete making sure you tamp concrete around the spur, remove the batten once the concrete has set.
For a temporary measure to secure the post
Drive a stake or peace of angle iron into the ground with a sledgehammer and either screw the stake or angle on to the post, you could also use heavy duty tie raps or rope to secure but only as a temporary measure as this will not last.
Broken posts can be very difficult to take out of the ground if it has been concreted I would highly recommend a fencing contractor to be called to deal with this problem.
