Case:
A 25-year-old man sustained a stable lateral compression Type I (LC I) pelvic ring injury upon missing the landing of a downhill ski jump. He presented with painful voiding from a displaced bony fragment, partially impaling the bladder wall. With operative fixation of the fracture and urologic co-management, the patient had excellent outcomes at 1-year follow-up.
Conclusion:
We describe a rare urologic injury in the setting of an LC I pelvic ring injury. In the setting of an otherwise stable pelvic ring injury, careful review of imaging, detailed clinical history, and physical examination remain critical to optimizing patient outcomes.
