How do you fix round corners?

The best way to fix a damaged rounded corner is by replacing the damaged section of bullnose corner bead. Corner bead is a pre-formed channel made of metal or hard plastic, and installs over the corner formed by the ends of the drywall. It strengthens and provides a straight, smooth, factory-edge to the corner.
