title: Genital trauma in young boys.
abstract: The issues surrounding genital trauma to young boys has received little attention in recent literature. Five cases of genital trauma are described. The cases demonstrate a number of similar features in their injury pattern. Analysis of the wound pattern will usually assist in defining the injurious force. The circumstances of causation, in particular the non-sexual nature of the genital assault, warrant careful investigation and assessment.
