French term or phrase: trait de refend

Good morning everyone!

I am transating a report about a cameraman who was hit by a car while filming.

This part of the report involves X-Rays.

Fracture de la tête humérale gauche et un trait de refend au travers de la tête.

Une fracture des os propres du nez peu déplacée.

I just want to check that this means "secondary fracture line", as in the glossary.

Thank you!

I have often wondered why you attribute 2 or 3 points and not 4 like everybody else usually does. But I am sure you have an explanation Liz !
Not that it matters much really.
