Pelvic fracture with dye test to evaluate for injury to the channel through which urine flows (Pelvic fracture with retrograde urethrogram): A 33-year-old man was brought to the emergency department by ambulance after a motorcycle accident. He had marked deformity of his pelvis and blood at the tip of his penis. The dye study (retrograde urethrogram) to evaluate injury to the hollow tube through which urine flows called the urethra shows no evidence of urethral injury but does demonstrate that the pubic bones are out line as are the bones that connect the lower spine to the pelvis (sacroiliac joint).
