Abstract:
A case of compound fracture of the articular eminence is presented. The injury was sustained as a result of direct trauma which also caused a mandibular symphyseal fracture. Management comprised repositioning and support of the fractured fragment by means of sutures and the application of intermaxillary fixation. There was no long-term limitation of mandibular movement nor was there neurological or hearing deficit as a result of either injury or treatment.
