AbstractTraumatic hernia of the abdominal wall is a rare type of hernia. A high-energy, localised impact causes the disruption of the abdominal wall musculature without penetrating the skin. The most frequent cause of the trauma is the lower abdomen striking the end of bicycle handlebars in young adults and children. A high level of clinical suspicion is required for diagnosis because of the high rate of associated injuries. The authors report a case of handlebar hernia managed successfully by surgical repair.
