title: Pelvic ring injury with urologic trauma: a report of bladder extravasation into the hip joint.
abstract: A case of blunt trauma is presented with pelvic ring disruption and an extraperitoneal bladder rupture that communicated with the hip joint through an acetabular fracture. Extraperitoneal bladder rupture is usually associated with blunt polytrauma and pelvic ring injuries. Expedient diagnosis and multidisciplinary management are essential to minimize significant early and late complications.
