<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">fractures</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('break' can be a synonym of 'fracture')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for breaks that I've seen before include "Shatters" , "Snaps; holidays" , "Fractures or splits" , "Interruptions of continuity" , "Unexpected pieces of good luck in a bad streak" .)
