Norwegian (Bokmal) term

etasjefraktur

Norwegian (Bokmal) to English Medical Medical (general) Leg fracture
Hei! I have a text mentioning the above term, but can't find a definition, even when researching the various types of bone fracture in both languages. This refers to two broken (lower) legs sustained when the patient was caught between a truck and another object.

Any help, as ever, gratefully received!

Mvh
Alison.
