ABSTRACT
The author analyzed detailed pattern of pelvic bone fracture in 52 cases of posterior urethral injuryassociated with pelvic bone fracture in male. The relationship between fracture and urethral injury was reviewed n38 cases who received retrograde urethrography at the time of injury. The pattern of urethral injury due to pelvicbone fracture was newly classified. The results were as follows; 1. In age distribution, the most common was 5thdecade(26.9%). 2. The most freqent type of pelvic rami fracture was two rami fracture(52%). 3. There was no casewith only the superior ramus fracture, and all cases were associated with inferior ramus fracture with or withoutsuperior ramus fracture. 4. In inferior ramus fracture, the ratio of ischial ramus fracture to pubic ramusfracture was 46.117.4. 5. In cases with only the ischial ramus or pubic ramus fracture, unilateral fractureexceeded bilateral fracture(44.219.3). 6. The bladder rupture was found in 10 among the total 52 cases, 9 ofwhich were associated with superior ramus fracture, and 8 were extraperitoneal type. 7. The most common type ofurethral injury was Type III(73.7%), and followed by Type II(10.5%), Type I(7.9%), and Type IV(7.9%). 8. Theseresults strongly suggested that the superior ramus frature was related to bladder rupture, and inferior ramusfracture to urethral injury.
