[Rupture of the female urethra in fractures of the pelvic bones. Apropos of 2 new cases].

Female urethra ruptures associated with pelvic ring fractures are exceptionally observed. The authors compared these 2 cases (Besançon and Toulon) to already published cases. This diagnosis must be contemplated and established by the surgeon or in his/her presence using urethral catheterization. The surgical approach (most of time abdominoperineal) allows an accurate injury repair and prevents from fearsome complications due to late diagnosis and treatment. An active attitude following this urological act is highly required, in case of osteoarticular injuries, whose instability and rules are currently known.
