AB In  straddle  injury,  the  patient  has  pain,  swelling,  contusion,  and  hematoma  of  the  perineum  or  scrotum  following  direct  blunt  trauma.  This  injury  is  commonly  caused  by  a  fall  onto  a  bicycle  frame  top  tube,  playground  equipment,  or  a  toilet  seat.  Swelling  can  be  severe  enough  to  interfere  with  urination.  Scrotal  contents  can  also  be  contused  or  crushed  with  this  injury.
