High Riding Prostate: Epidemiology of Genitourinary Injury in Motorcyclists from a UK Register of over 12,000 Victims

Conclusions:A significant proportion of motorcyclists brought to accident and emergency department have GUI, most commonly renal trauma. Pelvic fracture is more common in pillion passengers than riders, and associated with urethral and bladder injuries, but it does not predict severity of renal trauma. External genital injuries are rare, but we recommend examination in the tertiary survey, as consequences of missed injury are severe. Further research is needed to explore protective effects of motorcyclist clothing.Curr Urol 2020;14:105-112
