Info

A linear minimally displaced fracture involving the right body of mandible is identified.
Case Discussion
In most cases the mandible fractures or dislocates in two places as it forms a rigid ring with the base of skull. A single fracture without temporomandibular joint dislocation is rare but usually occurs in the setting of a direct blow.
