Spontaneous pubic symphysis disruption and concomitant bladder rupture during competitive squatting: A case report

Abstract

Pubic symphysis disruption is typically secondary to external blunt force trauma. This report presents a case of concomitant bladder wall rupture and pubic symphysis diastasis during competitive squatting. This required open bladder repair, small artery embolization, and internal fixation of the pubic symphysis. Surgeons should be aware that pelvic ring instability and organ damage can result even without any external trauma.
