Pelvic ring injury and traction associated bladder trauma

Abstract

Authors describe cases of two patients with urinary bladder injury in type B pelvic fracture which were caused by latero-rotation trauma mechanism. Authors assume traction injury of the urinary bladder.

Based on literature sources they discussed anatomical substratum of this type of injury. Exact definition of the anatomical structure is very difficult even if there is a possibility of traction by pubovesical ligament presented in literature
