  1. A. in case of such injury there is no capsule rupture.
  2. B. medial displacement is connected with condylar process fracture.
  3. C. bilateral anterior displacement if most frequent.
  4. D. repositioning of the mandible should be performed as soon as possible.
  5. E. after repositioning, the mandible needs to be immobilised for few days along with administering liquid diet.
