  • Title: Handlebar hernia: case report and literature review.
    Author: Angel Buitrago L, Lugo-Vicente H.
    Journal: Bol Asoc Med P R; 2015; 107(1):58-61. PubMed ID: 26035988.
    Abstract:
    Handlebar hernia is a rare traumatic abdominal wall hernia occurring after blunt trauma. We report a case of an adolescent patient with a traumatic rectus muscle abdominal wall hernia produced by injury with the bicycle handlebar. The skin abrasion caused by the trauma and a swelling reproduced after a Valsalva maneuver suggested the diagnosis. Traumatic wall hernias after blunt trauma should be repaired primarily to avoid complications.
