Can this mango tree be saved?

Hello from Orlando. With hurricane Irma now a memory, the damage in my backyard remains. A prized glenn mango tree was literally blown over to the ground, but the roots are intact. The once vertical tree now sits resting on its branches. I was busy cleaning other areas and have left alone the mango tree up to this point. Now I'm wondering, what if I just leave it "downed"? It looks like a mango bush at this point. There is absolutely no damage to any other branches ( in fact, a flush of new growth is happening).....  Just a thought, but what if I leave the tree as is? Honestly, from the house, no one can tell that it isn't a large bush.

Post a few pics if possible. What dimensions-- approximate height/spread/trunk diameter? If relatively small, can often be stood back up if braced well with wooden framework. Root structure will likely be compromised, so future failure is always possible-- keep in mind especially if a high traffic area or you have kids. I would recommend hiring a good local arborist to assist; as a minimum, get someone who has done storm restanding before.

Mango is one of the toughest fruit trees around. It will likely be fine. If worried about future toppling, keep it more or less hedged.

From your description it sounds like it's still quite small. Standing it up would be your best option while you still have wet weather. Later on when it's bigger you'll appreciate it having the more regular structure. But I agree with the comment about posting a few photos. Would give a better idea of what's involved.
