Need ideas for replanting totem pole cactus

My large totem pole cactus fell over after the rain and wind we had last week. I've dug out dirt from the main root area to let the exposed roots dry out in case any broke. From this point I need suggestions on next steps. Should I dig out any more of the roots to prevent them from breaking when we bring the cactus back up to vertical? I figure I'll need to use tow straps to secure the arms together so they don't break off, then build a scaffolding of some sort around it once it's up to provide support so it doesn't fall over again. On the other hand, is this a job for a professional??
