Background:

Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency often associated with spontaneous onset.
Trauma is an infrequently reported cause of testicular torsion.

Observation:

This report details a case of testicular torsion directly resulting from physical trauma.
A review of existing literature on trauma-induced testicular torsion was conducted.

Findings:

Testicular torsion can be precipitated by external physical force.
Early diagnosis is critical for preserving testicular viability.

Implications:

Clinicians should consider testicular torsion in the differential diagnosis of acute scrotal pain following trauma.
Prompt evaluation and management of suspected testicular torsion can prevent adverse outcomes such as testicular loss.
