Figure 19a. Bilateral medially displaced fractures of the mandibular head with contraction. (a) Magnification of a lateral radiograph of the head. Fracture of the mandibular neck is noted (arrow). (b) Axial multisection CT (1.25-mm section thickness, table feed of 3.75 mm/sec, 25-cm FOV) provides an excellent overview of the fractures (arrows). For the whole sequence, see Movie 10. (c) Coronal reconstruction (2-mm reconstruction interval) of axial CT sections provides another excellent overview of fractures (arrows) and shows small fragments on the right. For the whole sequence, see Movie 11.
