# The proximal segment of mandibular angle fracture usually displaced in which direction ?
a. Anterior and superior
b. Posterior and inferior
c. Inferior only
d. Posterior and superior

muscles, which displace the ramus in superior and anterior direction. This is a liorizontally unfavorable
fracture.
