Closed reduction of a traumatically dislocated testicle.
Traumatic testicular dislocation is an uncommon event, with fewer than 60 cases having been reported in literature. It is imperative that the emergency physician be aware of the possibility of testicular dislocations following perineal trauma and either seek emergent urologic consultation or attempt relocation of the testicle immediately. Testicular dislocation (following a motorcycle crash) that was successfully managed by closed reduction in the emergency department (ED) is presented. Following a benign course during subsequent observation, the patient was released with close urologic follow-up.
