Can An Injured Pelvic Area Cause Constant Urinary Tract Inflammation?

My son had a terrible car accident where his pelvic area was crushed (now has titanium screws, etc to hold everything together) his urethra was torn away and after 6 months had to be reattached by surgery going under the scrotum. Can all of this cause his daily problems with excretion/urinating and constant urinal tract inflammation?
