DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
11.) What genitourinary injuries are associated with pelvic fractures and how would you evaluate the patient for these?

Genitourinary injuries associated with pelvic fractures include rupture of bladder, urethral injury, and vaginal laceration. In the presence of hematuria, a CT cystogram is performed by putting 300 cc of diluted contrast material into the bladder.
