Abstract

Delayed bladder rupture caused by an acetabular fracture fragment is rare. We report a 75-year old woman who had unusual hip joint and thigh pain caused by urinary leakage from a late bladder laceration secondary to acetabular fracture six months earlier. Imaging findings revealed urinary extravasation around and within the right-side hip joint and thigh. Surgical repair of the bladder wall followed by drainage of the urinary pool resulted in complete recovery of bladder function. Physicians should be aware of such a rare late complication in patients with acetabular fracture.
