A retrospective chart review to compare outcomes between urethral realignment (group 1) and suprapubic tube (SPT) placement (group 2). The comparison will be between two routinely practiced management approaches of urethral injury after pelvic fracture. Prior studies demonstrate urethral realignment is associated with a 15% to 50% reduction in urethral obstruction, however, it has also been associated with higher rates of incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Our hypothesis is that early realignment of traumatic urethral injuries after pelvic fracture lowers the incidence of complications like urethral strictures and subsequent need for surgeries.
