Aloe with broken leaves. Please advise

Hello,

I have an aloe plant that I've had for about a year. Today it took a tumble (my cat is lucky she is cute) and two of its leaves broke in half. The rest of the plant looks fine. But I am unsure how to care for the broken leaves. If they were closer to the base I'd peel them off, but they are at the center of the plant. Should I cut the leaves further back with a sterilized blade? Will they scab over on their own? I am worried about bacteria getting in and making the whole plant sick. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
