Abstract
Controversy exists regarding the management of pelvic fractures with concomitant injuries to the lower urologic tract. This can be seen in both the urologic and orthopedic literature as it pertains to the ideal form of treatment for either problem and the timing of surgical intervention, if it is needed. This article reviews the anatomy, mechanism of injury, diagnostic approach, and treatment.
