Blunt pelvic trauma with urethral injury in the female: A case report and review of the literature

Abstract A case of blunt pelvic trauma with injury to the urethra in a female is reported. Although uncommon, this type of injury is by no means as rare as previously thought. If the morbidity associated with delayed diagnosis is to be avoided, urethral injury should be a consideration in any case of major pelvic trauma in females.
