Can a 5' tall sapling fig tree grow if its top has been cut off for shipping purposes?

I recently ordered a fig tree from an online nursery and I was rather surprised when it arrived. The sapling was poorly packed, but I was particularly disturbed when I opened it and I found that the top of the tree had been cut. The main trunk of the sapling is cut and exposed at its top. The diameter of this exposed area is roughly 1/3". The sapling is 5' tall with the cut. Will this tree grow correctly? Can it recover from this cut and grow taller? If this is a problem, do I need to do anything to dress the wound and help the tree survive and grow?
