Fractures of the parasymphysis occur in 15% of all cases of mandibular fracture. The mandible occupies the lowest portion of the face. The prominent bone of the face is severely injured when the lower face is hit by high impacts with upward or obliquely directed force. In this case study, we discussed the alleged trauma case of a 20-year-old man who fell from a height on August 27, 2022, at about 9:00 p.m. near Wardha. His family took him to the hospital in Wardha due to pain that was aggravated during chewing and swelling in his jaw. On investigation, an X-ray was done, and a left parasymphysis and right-side body fracture were noticed. Later, the patient underwent surgery, where open reduction and internal fixation of the left parasymphysis and the right-side body fracture with plating and intermaxillary fixation (IMF) were done. Then he was referred to the physiotherapy department for therapeutic intervention. Rehabilitation was given to reduce pain and swelling, regain full range of motion, gradually increase mobility, and keep associated muscles strong. A six-week protocol was administered to the patient. It was found that the therapeutic approach was quite effective for the patient.
