N2  - Two cases of traumatic abdominal wall hernia, produced by impaction of the motorcycle handlebars, are reported. The mechanism of injury, clinical and radiologic diagnosis are discussed. Because of the high incidence of other associated intraabdominal injuries, early exploration and repair through a midline incision is advocated. Adequate debridement and solid repair of fascial planes with non-absorbable sutures are required to prevent recurrence. Primary closure of the musculofascial defect was performed in both reported cases and the recovery was uneventful.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
