title: Parasymphyseal fracture with an associated temporomandibular joint dislocation: case report.
abstract: A case of traumatic mandibular fracture with associated unilateral anterior dislocation of the temporomandibular joint in a child is described. Although anterior dislocation is common, this combination of fracture and separate dislocation to our knowledge has not been reported in a young child. The unusual management required in this case is discussed.
