The TREATMENT 69 fracture is usually oblique from before backward and downward,as seen in the tracing (see Fig. 48). The body of the jaw dropsdownward and backward and the ramus slides forward. No dentalsplint is practicable, because there are no teeth on one side of thefracture to which the splint could be attached. Etherizationwill often be found helpful, and at times necessary, in the reduc-tion of this deformity. Reduction is accomplished by pressurebackward upon the ramus with the thumb in the mouth and asimultaneous lifting forward and upward of the body of the is maintained by an outside pad and metal chin-pieceand a buckle and strap splint.
