| Summary: | Pelvic ring injuries can be challenging to manage and may have a range of associated injuries. When bladder injuries occur in combination with pelvic ring fractures, a multidisciplinary approach may be required to plan the best course of treatment. Acute entrapment or injury to the urinary bladder after a pelvic fracture is well reported.

Treatment of the nonunion was complicated by an incidental diagnosis of lymphoma. |
