My understanding is that it is usually the shock that kills the bird after a near miss, and not the injury itself.
Given that it happened a week ago, I think the bird will be fine....they are generally quite resilient.

As said they are resilient , so long as it can perch OK and there's no infection or funky looking scabs then it will be fine.
