Summary
Pelvic trauma, particularly fractures, can cause stress and urge urinary incontinence. Malunion of pelvic fractures may lead to bone spurs, persisting incontinence, and requires removal during surgery.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Trauma Surgery
- Pelvic Reconstruction
Background:
- Pelvic trauma, especially fractures, is a known cause of stress and urge urinary incontinence.
- Urinary incontinence can persist post-trauma despite surgical interventions like bladder neck suspension.
Observation:
- Malunion of pelvic fractures can result in the formation of bone spurs.
- These bone spurs can contribute to persistent urinary incontinence after pelvic trauma.
Findings:
- Evaluation for pelvic fracture malunion is crucial in patients with post-traumatic stress and urge urinary incontinence.
- Surgical removal of bone spurs resulting from malunion is necessary during bladder neck suspension procedures.
Implications:
- Addressing pelvic fracture malunion and associated bone spurs can improve outcomes for urinary incontinence after trauma.
- This highlights the importance of comprehensive assessment and surgical technique in managing complex pelvic trauma sequelae.
