The purpose of this educational exhibit is: 1. To review traumatic posterior urethral injuries, including etiology, clinical signs/symptoms, and clinical significance. 2. To review urethral anatomy and injury classification systems. 3. To provide indications for urethrography and an image-based approach to findings of posterior urethral injuries on CT and urethrography. 4. To discuss clinical management and outcomes. 5. To highlight the radiologist’s potential role in primary urethral realignment and illustrate related fluoroscopic-guided techniques.  

Etiology, risk factors, clinical findings, and significance of posterior urethral injuries Urethral anatomy and urethral injury classification Imaging review: -Urethrography indications, techniques, and findings -CT findings Clinical management: -Surgical vs. fluoroscopic-guided primary urethral realignment -Illustrate fluoroscopic-guided techniques Sample cases Summary and conclusions
