Genitoperineal injury induced by orthopedic fracture table
The Journal of Urology
|October 1, 1985
Abstract:
Reduction and fixation of lower extremity fractures commonly involve use of the orthopedic fracture table, with incorporation of the perineal post for positioning and countertraction. Prolonged application of perineal pressure thereby is possible, with vulnerability to genitoperineal injury. Four examples are described.
