title: [Traumas to the scrotum or penis can be caused by "ordinary objects"].
abstract: In boys, most traumas to the scrotum result from sports or straddle injuries and do typically not inflict serious injury. Due to the small size and mobility of the prepubertal testicles, testicular injuries from penetrating trauma are less common in this age group. Penetrating scrotal injury, which poses a significant threat to testicular viability, is more prevalent among adolescents and young men. We describe two unusual genital injuries; one in childhood and the other in adulthood.
