Complete urethral rupture caused by pelvic fracture in females]

Complete urethral rupture caused by pelvic fracture in females is rare. In China except 6 cases treated at other institutions, we encountered 3 case of this kind injury from 1987 to 1989. Reviewing the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of the injury of 9 cases, we suggest that urethral reunion, traction by Foley's catheter and cystostomy should be performed routinely to raise the cure rate.
