That depends on the size of the broken route on the PCB, which currents are expected there and so on.
Usually, legs from hole mounted resistors etc are a good choice, if the layout is crowded and you need a thinner wire, then use wire-wrap wire. In case of broad routes and high currents, like in power supplies or television horizontal output stages, it is common to use a broad solder wick for repairing. |

| If you broke a trace, follow that trace to the next component it would have ran to. Simply solder a jumper wire from the leg of the IC to where it would have went to anyway. |

|
| Any tips for repairing a tracer on a printed circuit that has been pulled up do to removing IC chip that had one wire still partially held by solder. It pulled about a 1/4 inch from the location where the IC chip should be soldered. There is now no place to solder the one connector. I know I messed up, but can I save it? Thanks |
