Default Split branch on orange tree

A branch on our Moro Blood Orange tree has split. I think it was
because of the weight of the fruit. I have propped the branch up so
that it is no longer sagging so much.

Do we need to do something about the split or can we leave it the
way it is?

Here are some pictures of the branch:

his toes. It's just the hard, dead part that grows back but
still. And I do it just because he sticks them in me or
scratches the furniture or me.
