Abstract
Testicular fracture is a urological emergency that requires early diagnosis and timely surgical exploration in order to maximize testicular salvage. We presented a case of 17 year old male with left testicular fracture after roadside accident. The patient was surgically explorated and repaired with salvage of the injured testicle.

Occurrence of blunt trauma to the external genitalia was rare; its incidence up to 50% has been documented in the literature [7]
Summary
Scrotal trauma accounts for less than 1% of all traumas that is attributed to the scrotum anatomy and mobility. Blunt trauma is most prevalent form which primarily occurred due to motor vehicle collision, sport injury or assault [2]. Majority of these traumas occur in right testis due to its greater propensity to be trapped against the pubis or the inner thigh as compared to left testis [1]. Testicular rupture, sometimes referred as fractured testis, is a rare complication of testicular trauma and characterized by rip or tears in the tunica albuginea leading to the extrusion of testicular contents. Surgical exploration and repair of the ruptured capsule is primarily recommended in these cases [3, 4]
