Delayed Presentation of Intravesical Bone Penetration after Pelvic Ring Fracture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Retrograde cystography and computed tomography (CT) are considered the gold standard for investigating bladder and pelvic bone injury. However, these methods can miss extraperitoneal bladder rupture caused by a penetrating bone fragment from a pelvic bone fracture. We experienced a routine conventional cystography and CT scan that failed to identify penetration of the bladder by a bone fragment, which thus delayed optimal treatment. Therefore, different diagnostic methods such as CT cystography or cystoscopy should be considered to rule out penetrating injury by a bony fragment in patients with extraperitoneal bladder rupture.

Obturator Artery Injury Resulting in Massive Hemorrhage From a Low-Energy Pubic Ramus Fracture.
Pelvic ring fractures are common in the elderly population and are usually a result of low-energy trauma, such as falls from standing. In most cases, low-energy pelvic ring injuries can be treated with appropriate analgesia and early mobilization. Arterial injury resulting in hemodynamic instability from a low-energy pelvic ring injury is rare but, given the poor compliance of vessels in the el...

Combination of lumbosacral junction injury with closed vertical shear sacral fracture and disruption of the symphysis pubis is a very rare pattern of injury, particularly with a late presentation. To our knowledge, the complexity of such a lumbosacral injury with pelvic fractures, which was presented with a chronic condition, has never been addressed or identified in the previous literature. We...
