A clinical study was made on 108 patients with pelvic bone fractures and 37 patients with lower urinary tract injury in the Capital Armed Forces General Hospital during the period of 3 years from January, 1978 to December, 1980. Emphasis was placed on the mechanism of the bladder and urethral injuries.
The results were summarized as follows:
1. The most common cause of pelvic bone fractures was traffic accident (88.0%).
2. 37 cases (34.3%) of the pelvic bone fractures were associated with lower urinary tract injuries. These included 17 ruptures of the urethra, 14 bladder injury and 6 bladder and urethral injuries.
3. Among the total bladder injuries (20 cases), we found 14 extraperitoneal ruptures of the bladder. 4 intraperitoneal ruptures and 2 bladder contusion.
4. Among the 23 urethral injuries, membranous urethral injuries were prominent, 19 membranous urethral ruptures and 4 bulbous urethral ruptures.
