Rupture of the bladder and posterior urethra is a serious complication of pelvis fracture. From 1972 to 1984, 61 patients were admitted for genitourinary injuries. We present a review of 5 cases of bladder and urethral posterior injuries associated with pelvic fractures. We assess some current issues in the treatment and diagnosis.
