Atlas and epitome of traumatic fractures and dislocations . his movement—i, €., the line of least movement in the lower jaw duringthis act—corresponds approximately with the beginning ofthe inferior dental canal at the lingula. In forced move-ments the articular extremity may be pushed beyond thearticular tubercle and glide into another depression^ whereit then becomes firmly lodged; in other words, a disloca-tion is produced. The accident is more frequent in womenthan in men. The fixation of the head of the boue isenhanced by the vigorous contraction of the muscles, espe-cially the temporal.

The accident is more frequent in womenthan in men. The fixation of the head of the boue isenhanced by the vigorous contraction of the muscles, espe-cially the temporal. The symptoms of dislocation of the jaw are extremelysimple. The mouth is widely opened ; the alveolar processof the lower jaw projects far l^eyond that of the upperjaw ; the patient is utterly unable to close the mouth ; andthe absence of the prominence of the condyloid processfrom its normal position and its presence further forwardare readily detected. In unilateral anterior dislocation themouth is also wide open and the chin is slightly displaced.
