testicular fracture

Testicular fracture refers to a break in the parenchyma of the testicle as a result of blunt trauma.

Radiographic features

Ultrasound

A fracture line can be seen as a hypoechoic and avascular area within the testis but is only seen in 17% of cases . A tunica albuginea rupture may also be present .

Treatment and prognosis

The presence of blood flow demonstrates what region of the testis is still viable . Sometimes debridement along the line of the fracture is all that is required, while the rest of the testicle is spared .
