Polytrauma
Conditions
Brief summary
Urogenital injuries occur in approximately 5-10 % of all severly injured patients. The literature lacks a thorough investigation into the mechanisms of trauma, the analysis of the whole urogenital tract and especially the correlation of thoracic and lumbar spine and pelvic injuries with urogenital injuries. The goal of this study is to provide a thorough investigation into these primary end points in a multicenter study of university hospitals in Germany.
