Epidemiology of posterior urethral injury among adults with traumatic pelvic ring disruptions: a 10-year retrospective review from a trauma care centre in Southeast Nigeria.

Introduction: posterior urethral injuries can occur in polytrauma settings, and may contribute to morbidity post-trauma. The aim of this study is to determine the occurrence of pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) in adult polytrauma patients who were successfully stabilized and to appraise the nature of associated injuries.

Methods: the medical records of stabilized polytrauma patients≥ 18 years of age from January 2010 to December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed focusing on those presenting with bony pelvis disruptions.
