A fracture of the condylar neck will cause the jaw to deviate _______ the fracture.

Away from
Toward
In direct line with
In no particular direction

The correct answer is: Toward

A fracture of the condylar neck will cause the jaw to deviate toward the fracture site. This is because the muscles responsible for jaw movement are no longer adequately supported due to the fracture, causing the mandible to deviate towards the affected side. The other options are not correct because a fracture in this specific area will typically result in deviation towards the fractured condyle, rather than away from it, in a direct line with it, or in no particular direction.
