The word "mend" is a synonym for "fix" or "repair", so it can be used in most contexts where something is fixed, repaired, or rebuilt due to prior damage. Ex: Foot injuries take a long time to mend. Ex: They tried to mend their relationship, but they ended up breaking up again. Ex: I mended my sweater because there was a hole in it.
