Closed Reduction of a Traumatically Dislocated Testicle

Abstract

Traumatic testicular dislocation is an uncommon event, with fewer than 60 cases having been reported in the literature. It is imperative that the emergency physician be aware of the possibility of testicular dislocation following perineal trauma and either seek emergent urologic consultation or attempt relocation of the testicle immediately. Testicular dislocation (following a motorcycle crash) that was successfully managed by closed reduction in the emergency department (ED) is presented. Following a benign course during subsequent observation, the patient was released with close urologic follow‐up. Copyright © 1994, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
