Abstract
- Cases: We present 2 cases of traumatic testicular dislocation associated with a pelvic ring injury after a motorcycle collision. Case 1 describes bilateral testicular dislocation discovered intraoperatively. Urology was consulted, and the testicles were manually reduced under general anesthesia. Case 2 describes unilateral testicular dislocation discovered at the 1-month follow-up after pelvic ring fixation. Concern for infarction prompted urology to take the patient for surgical reduction. Both cases resolved uneventfully without genitourinary complaints at the follow-up. Conclusions: Testicular dislocation is rare but should be considered in the setting of pelvic injury due to a motorcycle collision. Detection warrants urgent urologic consultation.
