How to fix a hand-edited dynamic zone?

While I was out sick a coworker hand edited a zone with dyanamic
updates. When I got back the server returned SERVFAIL for any queries
to it. I didn't know yet that it had been hand edited, so I did an rndc
freeze to look at the zone file, which claimed to have succeeded, but
didn't remove the journal file, so I wasn't sure it had. I wasn't able
to thaw the zone (rndc: 'thaw' failed: out of range) so I removed the
zone file and the journal file and replaced them with an AXFR of the
zone from a slave server. It all seemed to work. I learned about the
hand edit later when I asked around what had happened.
What I want to know now: is there a better solution to that problem than
what I did? Better practices for fixing that which I could have followed?
