Hello,
Prime suspected organ to be injured in this manner, to lead to hematuria, with descending order of frequency is left kidney -- urinary bladder (less likely).
Need primarily ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis to confirm the diagnosis and further management plan decisions before proceeding for fracture surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
